Minnesota Senior Care Plus (MSC+): Medical Assistance for people 65 or older

MSC+ plans cover in-network medical, dental and vision care and supplies. This includes doctor visits, tests and more. You’ll also be covered for U.S. urgent and emergency care. If you qualify, certain assistance services may also be covered.

MSC+ also comes with drug coverage. If you don’t have Medicare Part D, you’ll get all covered drugs through MSC+. If you do have Medicare Part D, you’ll get most of your covered prescription drugs through your Part D plan. You’ll get covered over-the-counter drugs through MSC+.

You’ll also get free transportation for covered appointments. If you don’t live in a skilled nursing facility, you’ll get the help of a care coordinator.

There’s no monthly premium. And no cost sharing for care or drugs covered under Medical Assistance.

You may have to make other payments. This may happen if your income is over a certain amount.

Our MSC+ plan is offered in 12 Minnesota counties. These counties are Anoka, Benton, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, Sherburne, Stearns, Washington and Wright.

To enroll in a HealthPartners MSC+ plan, you must be at least 65 years old. You must also be eligible for Medical Assistance.

• If you become newly eligible for Medical Assistance after you turn 65, you’ll need to apply for Medical Assistance to enroll in MSC+.
• If you’re already receiving Medical Assistance when you turn 65, the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) will send you information about MSC+.
