How to Save Money and Get Discount Health Insurance in Minnesota


Individuals living in Minnesota who don't make a high income have a great resource available to them in terms of health care coverage. Medical Assistance is a program in place in the state that provides basic health care to low income earners. There are several requirements that have to be met and the application process includes an interview, but for someone in need of health assistance who can't afford it, this is a valuable program.

For people who don't qualify their main concern is finding a way to save money and get discount health insurance. The best approach to finding reasonably priced health insurance is through a group plan. Many employers offer group health insurance as a benefit. The company pays a portion of the premiums, and the employee covers the remainder. If this is an option, it should be utilized, as it's unlikely that any individual plan would be as cost efficient. There may be a waiting period in place after employment commences, but as soon as eligibility is granted, an application for coverage should be submitted.

Asking your car insurance agent about health insurance may seem a bit odd, but it can actually save money. If the insurer you use for life, car or home insurance, also offers health insurance, you may qualify for a multi-policy discount. This can actually cut the cost of every policy you have with the company. Ask about this when you are shopping for health insurance.

It goes without saying that there are numerous benefits to being in good health and lower health insurance premiums are one of them. If you watch your weight, and exercise on a regular basis you can generally expect to pay less for health insurance. You are viewed as less of a risk and as long as you stay healthy, your premiums are likely to remain low.
