Report Application Changes
Qualified health plan (QHP) enrollees need to report all application changes. The changes could impact the enrollment in their plan and their eligibility for premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions, if they applied for financial assistance. Changes must be reported within 30 days of the date of the change (see Rights and Responsibilities - Private Coverage).
MinnesotaCare and Medical Assistance enrollees should follow instructions on the DHS website for how and when to report changes.
