Better together

Sourcewell’s health insurance pool is a community of public employers from across Minnesota who are committed to leading their people to the highest possible state of wellness, who leverage the power of cooperative purchasing and risk sharing to optimize the affordability and stability of valuable health plans and related services.

The pool is member-driven, with decisions made by membership-elected committees.

Transparent

We provide very detailed reporting from a comprehensive list of standard mid-year and renewal reports.
Rigorous

Our procurement process is conducted every two years and satisfies Health Insurance Transparency Act (HITA) bidding requirements, thus making optional the need for our member groups to seek health insurance bids separately every two years.
Nimble

Our service team and vendor partners are equipped to respond to the ever-changing needs of our members.
Humble, Collaborative, and Attentive

We don’t know it all, so we value input from our vendor partners and especially our members. We meet regularly, send periodic communications, and engage in annual surveys with our members.
