MNsure to launch new enrollment system for health plans in 2026
MNsure will move Otter Tail County shoppers with qualified health plans to a new enrollment system in late June or early July. The key fix now is a current, unique email address.
MNsure will shift qualified health plan shoppers to a new enrollment system in late June or early July, and Otter Tail County residents who use the marketplace should expect their coverage tasks to run through that new platform. The system, called MNsure Eligibility and Enrollment System, or MN-EES, will be the new front door for people enrolling in qualified health or dental plans, and everyone currently eligible for a qualified health plan will be migrated into it.
The change will not move everyone onto the same platform. Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare will stay in the current eligibility system, METS, while the two systems will share data under a no wrong door approach so people are routed to the right place. For residents trying to sort out private coverage, renew a plan, or start an application, that means the account path will change even if the coverage options do not.
Accurate and unique email addresses are critical to the transition, so now is the time to check the address tied to an account. The modernization will fully integrate account creation, application and enrollment for qualified health plans, and MNsure has spent the last three years on the project.
Otter Tail County’s health care assistance office sends residents to MNsure for shopping private plans and for applying for Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare. County workers can also help complete and submit applications, and MNsure-certified navigators and brokers can provide free help by phone, virtually or in person. For people in Fergus Falls, Perham, Pelican Rapids and smaller townships across the county, that local help may be the quickest way to avoid a bad login, a missed notice or a delay when the new system opens.
MNsure enrolled 146,445 people in 2024 coverage, then 167,163 in 2025 plans, and delivered over $328 million in savings in 2024 and over $376 million in savings in 2025. Changes enacted by Congress mean costs are going up for most enrollees in 2026, with nearly 90,000 Minnesotans expected to pay more on average.
