Ahead of 2027 health plan deadline, Boldon continues push for home care nursing fix
Boldon and 44 colleagues say insurers capped home nursing benefits, shifting costs to families and Medicaid waiver budgets.
- Minnesota Sen. Liz Boldon is pressing Gov. Tim Walz and the Minnesota Department of Commerce to enforce state law requiring insurance coverage for home nursing, after Boldon and 44 colleagues sent a letter requesting immediate action against insurers.
- Insurers including Medica and HealthPartners are imposing coverage caps on families with medically fragile children, forcing reliance on Medicaid waivers and reducing funding for adaptive equipment and therapies.
- Six-Year-Old Guinevere Keis requires 127 hours of weekly nursing; her father Nick Keis says losing private coverage makes it impossible to fund $400,000 in necessary care for the Anoka County family.
- The Department of Commerce stated it will take action against non-compliant health plans, while Walz instructed the department to explore potential administrative solutions to protect families.
- Boldon and affected families are urging state agencies to act soon, as the Department of Commerce is anticipated to release 2027 health insurance rates on Thursday, Oct. 1.
