MNsure plans fixes, new consumer tool for website

MNsure has scheduled IT upgrades for late August that are meant to respond to long-standing complaints the system can’t keep up with important life changes for enrollees.

The state’s health exchange also is spending $473,000 to provide website users with an online tool that will help them understand out-of-pocket costs associated with different health insurance options available through MNsure.

Both technology advances were announced during a MNsure board meeting in St. Paul on Wednesday.
