MADISON, WI – The Wisconsin Association of Health Plans is proud to welcome iCare and Community Care, Inc. as Association members, effective January 1, 2024. The addition of iCare and Community Care reinforces the Association’s role as the premier advocacy group for managed care organizations (MCOs) in the state of Wisconsin. MCOs contract with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) to serve Medicaid long-term care programs – such as Family Care, Family Care Partnership, and Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) – that provide critical services to older adults and adults with disabilities.
“We are thrilled to broaden our membership to include all managed care organizations serving Wisconsin’s adult Medicaid long-term care programs,” said Association Executive Director John Nygren. “We look forward to bringing a unified MCO voice to ongoing efforts to ensure the delivery of high-quality, accessible, and sustainable home and community-based services here in Wisconsin.”
“The continued growth of the Association’s membership underscores the commitment and expertise of its staff and acknowledges the capacity of this association to achieve positive outcomes for our member health plans and the individuals we are privileged to serve,” added Coreen Dicus-Johnson, Association Board President and President & CEO of Network Health. “The addition of iCare and Community Care, Inc. benefits our entire membership, and, ultimately, the people of Wisconsin.”
The Wisconsin Association of Health Plans is the voice of 14 community-based health plans that provide health insurance coverage in every county of the state to individuals, employers, and government programs. Association members collectively fully-insure more than 1.3 million Wisconsin residents.
iCare, a subsidiary of Humana, is a national leader for advanced managed care programs tailored for individuals with complex health and social needs.
