Understanding Your Premium 

People 21 and older who are not pregnant will pay a monthly premium and copays for covered health care benefits. Monthly premiums are determined by your income. Medica does not collect your premium. You pay your premium directly to MNCare.

Pay your premium to MinnesotaCare

Understanding Your Copays

A copay is an amount that you pay your provider when you receive care. Copay amounts are listed below.

You pay your copay directly to your provider. Many providers have you pay your copay when you arrive for your appointment. If you get non-emergency care at a hospital emergency room, they may bill you later.

If you can't pay your copay, the provider must still give you care. This is true even if you haven't paid your copay to that provider in the past or if you have other debts to that provider. The provider may still bill you for the unpaid copays.
