Managed care reporting

Home > Health care > A-Z health care > Managed care reporting

Minnesotans need full disclosure and greater accountability of how public dollars are spent for health care services for people enrolled in Medical Assistance (MA) and MinnesotaCare (PDF). In an effort to provide this information, Gov. Mark Dayton directed the Department of Human Services (DHS) to establish this website under an executive order (PDF). It is a single source for all publicly available state information and reports on managed care plans under contract with DHS for publicly funded health care programs. News and updates about state managed care and reforms are also online.

About this website

Minnesota spends almost $3.9 billion a year purchasing health care through managed care plans for more than 700,000 people enrolled in public health care programs. These links provide information on managed care plan quality of care, financials, contracting and reports by state agencies. This information is collected by DHS as the purchaser of health care services for public program enrollees and the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), the state agency that regulates managed care plans including health maintenance organizations and county-based purchasing plans. 

DHS launched the new site in April 2010. The site is a work in progress and additional information will be posted. DHS welcomes feedback and suggestions to make this a useful and user friendly tool.
