Plan Features

Care Coordination

Broker Agent

Your plan includes support from a personal Care Coordinator to build and maintain an independent, healthy life. Your Medica Care Coordinator is your go-to source for help.

This program gives you:

Control. You get the information and options you need to make decisions about your health care. 

Coordination. We organize and manage your medical providers as well as your support needs to make sure you get what you need when you need it — without hassles. 

Planning. We support your long-term health with preventive and creative care that starts with a complete health assessment. 

Partnership. Health care decisions are important to your long-term health, so we work one-on-one with you to build a strong partnership and make decisions together.

Ease of use. We help you get the resources you need from the state of Minnesota and figure out how everything should work together. 

Longevity. We support you now and in the future by finding, organizing and building your network of health care support. You can focus on your life, not your disability.

Hospital Readmission Prevention

After you've been in the hospital, we want to help you recover safely at home and prevent readmission to the hospital. This special service offers individualized support during the first 30 days after you leave the hospital.

Specially-trained Community Companions will check in with you when you are eligible for this service. They’ll offer you resources and answer your questions along the way.

The Community Companion Service is an innovative program of Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota in partnership with Medica.

Language Resources

Broker Agent

Medica will contact an interpreter to provide help over the phone. Medica will also provide interpreters for your medical, dental, pharmacy, mental health or substance use disorder appointments at no cost to you. To request an interpreter, call Medica Member Services.

Transplant Program

When you need an organ, bone marrow or stem cell transplant, our transplant program helps you get the care you need in the most effective setting, with the best possible outcome. We coordinate your benefits and provide readiness coaching. We can also help you find a Centers of Excellence transplant facility.

Before you receive care (including pre-transplant evaluations), your doctor needs to request prior authorization for all transplant services. Without prior authorization, services may not be covered.

Transplant program



Medica DUAL Solution is a health plan that contracts with both Medicare and the Minnesota Medical Assistance (Medicaid) program to provide benefits of both programs to enrollees. Enrollment in Medica DUAL Solution depends on contract renewal.

American Indians can continue to use tribal and Indian Health Services (IHS) clinics. We will not require prior approval or impose any conditions for you to get services at these clinics. For elders age 65 years and older this includes Elderly Waiver (EW) services accessed through the tribe. If a doctor or other provider in a tribal or IHS clinic refers you to a provider in our network, we will not require you to see your primary care provider prior to the referral.
