Health care coverage

How do I create or access my DHS health care account?

Starting June 27, 2026, people who apply for, or reapply for, Medical Assistance (MA) or MinnesotaCare, or who need to view an existing MA or MinnesotaCare case online, will use a DHS health care account through the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS).

You will use LoginMN to create and access your DHS health care account.

What can I do with my DHS health care account?

A DHS health care account allows you to:

  • Apply or reapply for MA or MinnesotaCare online
  • Review your notices.
  • File an appeal.
  • Assign a navigator.

How do I apply or reapply for MA or MinnesotaCare?

If you are applying for MA or MinnesotaCare for the first time, or reapplying, use your DHS health care account to complete your application online. You can also choose to submit a paper application.

How do I access my existing MA or MinnesotaCare case?

If you already have MA or MinnesotaCare, you can connect your existing case to your DHS health care account to view your health care information online. MNsure.org no longer shows information about MA or MinnesotaCare cases.

Before creating your DHS health care account, make sure you know who the application filer is.

Who is the application filer?

The application filer is the person listed in the “About you” section of the original health care application. This is the person whose information the system uses to connect an existing MA or MinnesotaCare case to a DHS health care account.

Only application filers can connect an existing MA or MinnesotaCare case to their DHS health care account.

The application filer might be:

  • The person who completed the application.
  • The person who manages the household’s benefits.
  • The person who contacts DHS or their county servicing agency about the case.
  • An authorized representative.

If you are not sure who the application filer is, your worker can only share this information with people who are already authorized on the case. This protects the privacy of the person who submitted the application.

To find the phone number for your county, Tribal agency, or Health Care Consumer Support, visit the Minnesota DHS Health Care "Contact us" page and select the button that best matches your situation (for example, "I'm already enrolled"). From there, you'll be directed to your agency's contact information.

Where do I access my health care account?

Where you access your health care account depends on your type of coverage.

Medical Assistance (MA) or MinnesotaCare

  • You will access your DHS health care account through the DHS health care website. Sign in using LoginMN.

Private health plans called qualified health plans (QHPs)

  • You will continue to access your QHP health care account through MNsure.org.

What happens if my household has both public and private coverage?

Some households have members with MA or MinnesotaCare and private health plans. In these cases, a household may have two separate accounts:

  • A DHS health care account for MA and MinnesotaCare.
  • A MNsure account for private health plans (QHPs).

How will I get notices?

Starting June 27, 2026, notices will come from different places depending on your household’s coverage.

Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare only

  • Notices will come from DHS or your county or Tribal agency.

Private health plan only (QHP)

  • Notices will come from MNsure.

Both public and private coverage

  • You will receive notices from both DHS or your county or Tribal agency, and from MNsure.
