Disclaimer

Independent service — not a government agency

CareBudget is an independent private service operated by Balance & Wellness L.L.C. in Burnsville, Minnesota. We are not a government agency, and we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of the Minnesota Department of Human Services, Medicaid, Medical Assistance, or any county or health plan.

Navigation guidance only

CareBudget provides program navigation and application guidance. Eligibility for Minnesota Medicaid programs is determined by your county and the MnCHOICES assessment, not by CareBudget — and never guaranteed. No consultation, guide, or communication from us is a promise of eligibility, enrollment, or payment.

Applying is always free

Applying for any Minnesota program is always free and is done directly through the State of Minnesota, your county, or your managed-care organization. Paying CareBudget is never required to apply, and our consultation is preparation and guidance — not a fee for the application itself.

Not professional advice

Nothing on this site or in our consultations is legal, medical, insurance, financial, or tax advice. Program rules change and vary by county and individual circumstance; always confirm current rules with your county or health plan before acting.

The clarity guarantee

Our guarantee covers our deliverable — that you leave your consultation with a clear next step — and nothing else. If you don't, tell us on the call and we'll refund the consultation. It is not a guarantee of any outcome, decision, or approval by any government body.
