At Briva Health, we provide a variety of services, but primarily focus on helping Minnesotans get access to affordable health insurance through the MNsure marketplace. We assist individuals by helping them sign up for and enroll in health insurance. We want to make the enrollment process as straightforward and clear as possible so that you can be confident in the plan you choose. We also help to resolve issues and answer questions regarding health coverage once the application has been submitted.  In order to assist individuals with their health coverage, we have over 15 certified navigators that speak seven languages in the Twin Cities Metro and St. Cloud metro areas. Briva Health is MNsure’s largest assiter and enrollment partner, and in 2018 alone, we proudly served 20,000+ Minnesotans.
