Hennepin Health podcast helps Minnesotans navigate Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare

Published: Sep 27, 2024

Dr. Krishnan Subrahmanian (aka. Dr. Krish) is chief medical officer for Hennepin Health. Throughout his career, Dr. Krish has seen the importance of health insurance. But he also understands how confusing health insurance can be. It can be especially complex for those who are eligible for Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare.

Dr. Krish and his Hennepin Health colleagues recently developed a 4-part podcast that helps Minnesotans understand and navigate Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare.

In the podcast Dr. Krish answers basic questions like who is eligible for Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare, what the benefits are, and how to sign up and switch plans. He talks to community members who’ve used the programs, and interviews experts like Dr. Nathan Chomilo, Minnesota Department of Human Services medical director for Medicaid and Medical Assistance.  

“We want everyone to understand how Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare help our neighbors reclaim health and benefit our community,” says Dr. Krish. “Finding, choosing, enrolling, and switching health insurance plans is easy and we can help.”
