Medical Assistance (MA)

Program info
Medical Assistance (MA) is Minnesota’s Medicaid program for people with low income.

Most people who have MA get health care through health plans. You can choose a health plan from those serving MA members in your county.

Members who do not get health care through a health plan get care on a fee-for-service basis, with providers billing the state directly for services they provide.

MA is Minnesota's largest health care program and serves children and families, pregnant women, adults without children, seniors and people who are blind or have a disability.
