Minnesota HF2955 establishes a county-administered rural medical assistance program (CARMA) to provide health care options for eligible individuals.

Minnesota HF2955 establishes the CARMA program, offering a county-owned and administered alternative to the prepaid medical assistance program (PMAP). CARMA aims to integrate health care, public health, and social services to address health-related social needs in rural communities. Eligible individuals, residing in participating counties and qualifying for medical assistance, are automatically enrolled in CARMA but can opt-out. The program covers all required medical assistance benefits and may include additional health plans if deemed necessary by the commissioner.
