Discover a plan for seniors who receive Medical Assistance (Medicaid) and Medicare

Are you age 65 or older and receiving Medical Assistance? Are you eligible for or enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B? Our HealthPartners^® Minnesota Senior Health Options (MSHO) plan might be a perfect fit.

MSHO combines Medicare and Medical Assistance into one plan. It also provides extra perks and benefits when you need them. Plus, with our MSHO plan, you won’t pay any monthly premium. You’ll also pay $0 for covered services if you go to an in-network doctor or provider. Plus, you’ll have a $0 copay for covered prescription drugs.

MSHO is a program for people who are dual eligible for both Medical Assistance and Medicare Parts A and B. MSHO works by combining these two programs’ coverages into one plan. That can make your health insurance benefits easier to keep track of and manage. You’ll only have one ID card in your pocket. You’ll get extra perks and benefits, too.

You’ll also get the services of a care coordinator. A care coordinator assists you with your benefits and well-being. They can partner with you to set health goals and make a care plan. They can help make sure your care providers are in contact with each other. They can help with prescription drugs and refills (as needed). And they can help you navigate Medicare and Medical Assistance.

With a HealthPartners MSHO plan, that means you’ll get all-in-one coverage for:

When you enroll in MSHO, you’ll choose a primary care provider (PCP). Your PCP will help coordinate your medical care. You’ll also generally only get coverage when you use an in-network doctor or provider. But if you need emergency care, urgent care or renal dialysis, you’ll have out-of-network coverage, too.

Our MSHO network includes HealthPartners and Park Nicollet hospitals and clinics. It also includes many other providers. You’ll probably be able to keep the doctors and specialists you already have. And you won’t pay anything when you get in-network care or covered prescription drugs.

A HealthPartners MSHO plan includes these no-cost extras:

• Home-delivered meals and care support after a hospital stay or surgery
• A first-aid kit, bathroom safety devices and two motion-sensing night lights
