MNsure open enrollment begins Saturday and questions remain about how ready the online exchange is.

MNsure CEO Scott Leitz joined The Daily Circuit ahead of the health insurance exchange's second enrollment period.

MNsure open enrollment: 5 things you should know

1. Open enrollment starts Nov. 15 and closes Feb. 15.

2. If you want your coverage to start Jan. 1, you have to submit your application by Dec. 15.

3. If you have MinnesotaCare or medical assistance, you don't have to do anything right now. You will be contacted soon about renewal of that assistance.

4. PreferredOne is not offering coverage through MNsure this enrollment. If you are currently insured through their plan, Leitz said you have to take action to cancel that plan if you don't want to pay their new offered premiums. He said it's important for these customers to go through MNsure again because they might now qualify for financial assistance and will likely find a more affordable plan on the site.

5. You can receive one-on-one help in person from 3,000 navigators, brokers and insurance agents. MNsure has a searchable tool to find a helper near you.

If you have additional questions about open enrollment, contact MNsure at 1-855-366-7873 or view their FAQ.
