A person’s health care program eligibility is determined by a variety of factors. For some people, this may include being part of a specific population for which there are special eligibility considerations. People in these specific populations include:
l Cash program enrollees, including State and IV-E Adoption Assistance, IV-E Foster Care, General Assistance (GA), Group Residential Housing (GRH), and Minnesota Supplemental Aid (MSA).
l Recipients of services through the Center for Victims of Torture (CVT).
l Noncitizens who have a medical emergency and would otherwise be ineligible for Medical Assistance (programs MA or NMED) may be eligible for Emergency Medical Assistance (EMA).
l Residents of Institutions for the Treatment of Mental Diseases (IMD)
l People who are not eligible for other health care program coverage and who would like access to pre-pregnancy family planning may be eligible for family planning services through the Minnesota Family Planning Program.
l Refugees who may be eligible for Refugee Medical Assistance (RMA).
l Women who have been screened through the Sage Screening Program (formerly the Minnesota Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program).
