The Minnesota Emergency Medical Assistance program provides health care cost coverage for people who have an emergency medical condition and cannot get Medicaid because of immigration or citizenship status. The program will only pay for medical emergencies. If a person has utilized an Emergency Department for a non-emergency condition the program will not cover that cost. An emergency medical condition occurs when a person has a sudden onset of a physical or mental condition which causes acute symptoms, including severe pain, where the absence of immediate medical attention could reasonably be expected to place the person's health in serious jeopardy, cause serious impairment to bodily functions, or cause serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part (examples of such conditions include, but are not limited to, stroke, heart attack, abscessed teeth, broken bones, ear infections, and kidney failure). When the medical condition requires further care outside of the emergency room to prevent the condition from becoming an emergency within 48 hours the physician or dentist can submit an Emergency Medical Assistance Care Plan Certification Request to the DHS. Coverage is also available for labor/delivery (note that pregnant women who are undocumented may be able to receive other coverage through MinnesotaCare which will cover prenatal and labor/delivery costs). Information about the applicant or their family will not be shared with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.
