Minnesota Healthcare Network, LLC (MHN) is a care system of physicians in independent practice throughout the Twin Cities and surrounding area. The clinics range in size from one physician to clinics with over 50 doctors and specialize in family practice (all ages), internal medicine (adult care) and pediatrics (newborn through adolescence). These clinics may participate in health plan networks via the MHN system, or independently.
MHN affiliated clinics and physicians provide personalized, compassionate , high-quality healthcare services to patients in all stages of life. Our care teams work collaboratively with patients and their families to accomplish your shared healthcare goals.
Once you understand the benefits of having your choice of independent physicians, feel free to search for a doctor affiliated with MHN that can meet your needs.
Doctors with MHN know their patients, understand their needs and can focus on keeping them healthy, not just caring for them when they are sick.
Minnesota Healthcare Network offers a panel of independent primary care clinics concerned with your health and satisfaction. The clinics are located throughout the greater Twin Cities and Western Wisconsin area in inner city, suburban and rural settings.
Many health insurance companies have benefit plans that require you to select a primary care clinic who will provide or arrange for your care. This is not a bad thing! Your primary care doctor is your partner and can help you navigate a complex health care system.
To doctors affiliated with Minnesota Healthcare Network, a referral is communicating to a specialist or facility that they are sending a patient for specific services. However, for insurance companies, referrals have been used to determine benefit levels. We encourage you to communicate your needs with your primary care doctor and his/her clinic staff prior to receiving services from a specialist or going to a facility. Doctors with Minnesota Healthcare Network will make every effort to provide you the service you need or offer you options with a referral to someone who can.
A care system or network is a collection of physicians, providers and facilities that provide or arrange for the full continuum of care. MHN is an independent, physician owned care system.
A benefit plan is determined by your employer or the insurance company selected by your employer. There are literally thousands of benefit plans and there is no way your doctor or his/her staff can possibly know them all. However, they do their best to help you maximize your benefits by offering you options.
No. All you need to do is seek care from one of our primary care clinics. Your insurance company may require you enroll with a specific primary care clinic. In that case, contact your health insurance company using the phone number on your member ID card and request to change primary care clinics.
It is challenging to predict exact cost due to so many variables that influence it. However, you have the right to understand how much a health care service or procedure will cost. Your health care expenses are based upon the exact services you receive and the discount your health plan has negotiated with your provider (if you have insurance). Did you know that health care providers have differing costs for identical services? Minnesota Healthcare Network doctors can help you find the best value for your individual needs.
