Most people apply for coverage from publicly funded programs through the state's MNsure health insurance marketplace. The Department of Human Services partners with many entities responsible for member eligibility and enrollment. Information is available for these partners:

• County and tribal workers who administer Medical Assistance and all of its subprograms
• MinnesotaCare workers
• Qualified hospitals that determine presumptive eligibility for MA
• Certified Minnesota Family Planning Program (MFPP) providers that determine presumptive eligibility for MFPP

MHCP members get health care services either on a fee-for-service (FFS) basis or through contracted managed care organizations (MCOs), depending on the program. 

Information is available for these providers:

• MHCP enrolled providers (FFS)
• MCOs

You can also search the MHCP Provider Directory to find enrolled FFS providers.
