Grants to Minnesota nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations, and tribal entities to improve access to health care. The purpose of this grant program is to increase the number of state residents who are covered by health insurance. Target populations include residents that experience difficulties in enrolling in and maintaining health insurance coverage.
MNsure is seeking applicants who can achieve the goals of the fiscal year (FY) 2023 Navigator Grant Program:
Support a professional workforce of navigators, with a focus on experience and year-round commitment to providing application and renewal assistance.
Ensuring there are navigator agencies representing populations experiencing the highest uninsured rates, the most significant health disparities and the greatest barriers to enrollment.
Utilization of demonstrated methods of outreach to the uninsured, underinsured or those transitioning between coverage.
This solicitation will support grants that:
Identify a population or populations experiencing lower rates of insurance, barriers to enrollment or disparities in health outcomes.
Set objectives for connecting the identified population with public or private health insurance coverage and collect data to measure progress towards those objectives.
Dedicate certified staff at least half-time to navigator duties year-round so they can provide comprehensive support to consumers in all aspects of the process of applying for and maintaining coverage, including submitting applications, responding to notices, reporting changes and completing renewals.
Identify specific in-reach and outreach methods for reaching the population, leveraging existing community connections and outreach capacity.
Collaborate with MNsure on education, outreach, enrollment event and referral opportunities.
Dedicate adequate staff to support grant administration, data collection and collaboration with MNsure.
