SecureBlueSM will continue to cover important benefits that support your health and wellbeing needs in the year ahead.
Most of your benefits are staying the same. But some costs, services or coverage are changing for 2027.
We want to help you understand what’s new, so there are no surprises.
2026 | 2027 | |
|---|---|---|
| ပှၤမၤစၢၤတၢ်လၢ အဲၣ်တၢ်ဒ်တံၤသကိး | Covered | တဟ့ၣ်န့ၢ်တၢ်အဘူးအလဲဘၣ် |

| BlueRideSM transportation to Juniper health education classes1 | Covered | တဟ့ၣ်န့ၢ်တၢ်အဘူးအလဲဘၣ် |
| Post-hospital discharge healthy transitions | Covered | တဟ့ၣ်န့ၢ်တၢ်အဘူးအလဲဘၣ် |
| Over-the-counter allowance2 | $75 every 3 months | $100 every 3 months |
| Part D (drug) coverage | 2 tiers | 5 tiers |
| Healthy groceries, utilities & rent allowance3 | $275 every 3 months | $250 every 3 months |
Starting in 2027, many prescription drugs will cost less. Most Tier 1 and Tier 2 drugs, including covered insulin, will have a $0 copay when filled at a network pharmacy or through mail order.
Some drugs in higher tiers (Tiers 3-5) will still have a copay, but costs for many medicines will remain low. These changes may help lower what you pay for prescriptions throughout the year.
For complete details about your drug coverage and costs, please review your Annual Notice of Changes (ANOC).

What DHS does
DHS manages the Medical Assistance (Medicaid) program for the state of Minnesota. DHS sets the rules, decides who qualifies and pays for the Medical Assistance (Medicaid) program for those who qualify.
Who to contact
Most human services in Minnesota are provided through your local county or tribal office. Based on where you live, you'll be assigned a county or tribal worker. This worker is different from your Blue Plus care team. You can contact your county or tribal worker to learn more about Medical Assistance (Medicaid).
Contact county or tribal worker
Where do I go to update my contact info?
It's important to keep your contact information, including your email address, up to date with your county or tribal worker. DHS uses this information to send important updates about your coverage and health plan.
Blue Plus
Blue Plus works with DHS to provide healthcare plans for people eligible for Medical Assistance (Medicaid) and Medicare Parts A and B. Blue Plus helps manage your benefits and connects you with the care and support you need.
SecureBlue (HMO SNP)
SecureBlue is a health plan that is also called Minnesota Senior Health Options (MSHO) and is for people age 65 and older who are eligible for both Medical Assistance (Medicaid) and Medicare parts A and B. This plan combines both Medicaid and Medicare programs including drug plans into one convenient plan.
Blue Plus Care Coordinator
You have a care coordinator. They are a nurse, social worker, or other provider who can help you get home care, community services, and local support. They can also explain your benefits, help you join programs, find rides to appointments, and coordinate your care. If you need help or don't know your care coordinator, call the Member Services number on the back of your ID card.
Blue Plus Case Manager
If you have a serious illness, injury, or long-term condition, you may be assigned a case manager. They help you understand your care, find in-network providers, get mental health support, answer questions, and set up follow-up visits. If you need help or don't know your case manager, call the Member Services number on the back of your ID card.
