MNsure CEO Nate Clark reported that after the first week of open enrollment, things continue to go smoothly.

On Thursday he issued a statement recapping the first full week of open enrollment:

“This year’s open enrollment continues to go smoothly with consistently low wait times throughout the first week,” Clark said. “With lower rates across the state, we have seen a steady stream of Minnesotans signing up for health coverage. We encourage Minnesotans to visit MNsure.org to see if they are eligible for exclusive tax credits that could lower their monthly premiums.”

This year to date, MNsure has renewed more people into coverage than ever before. Open enrollment figures will be released at 1 p.m. on Nov. 14 at MNsure’s public board meeting.
