UCare ending operations, moving all remaining health insurance enrollees to Medica
Update: 2025-11-18
Description
One of Minnesota’s largest health insurers is shutting down at the start of next year.
Minnesota-based UCare announced the move in a statement issued Monday. According to officials with the nonprofit, its health insurance plans for more than 300,000 members across Minnesota and western Wisconsin will be transferred to Medica, another large nonprofit health insurer based in Minnesota. The shuttering of U-Care brings up questions about insurance options for Minnesota’s most vulnerable.
Stephen Parente is a professor of finance at Minnesota Carlson and the Minnesota Insurance Industry chair of health finance. He joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about the change.
