Medica

Medica is a nonprofit health plan founded in 1975 by doctors in Minneapolis. Nearly five decades later, it provides health insurance coverage to more than a million members across the American Midwest, including Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota.

The organisation's work spans health plan administration, managed care and provider partnership coordination. Its core offering is health plan coverage for individuals and communities, combining personalised care experiences with provider partnerships intended to deliver coordinated, quality service. Alongside coverage, Medica runs Community Giving Initiatives focused on early childhood and maternal health, food security and mental health needs.

As a nonprofit, Medica invests back into the communities it serves and describes healthcare as deeply personal, with an emphasis on long-term relationship building and on members feeling genuinely valued. In 2021 the company entered a joint venture with SSM Health and invested in Dean Health Plan to expand its regional service.
