Expanded Care Choices Coming to Members in Nine Wisconsin Counties in 2025
More managed care options for Family Care and Family Care Partnership
Starting in January 2025, almost 8,000 Family Care and Family Care Partnership (Partnership) members in South Central Wisconsin will have more choices in who helps manage their long-term care. Members in Adams, Columbia, Dane, Dodge, Green Lake, Jefferson, Marquette, Rock, and Waushara counties will be able to choose from four managed care organizations (MCOs) for Family Care. That's an increase from the two currently available. Wisconsinites in these nine counties will also all have the option to participate in Partnership - a first for residents in five of these counties.
"We're giving Wisconsin Medicaid members more choices to find the care that's best for them," said Wisconsin Medicaid Director Bill Hanna. "Our Family Care and Partnership programs provide crucial care and support to help Wisconsinites live their best lives in their homes and communities."
Wisconsin's Family Care program focuses primarily on providing long-term care to Wisconsinites who are older or who have a disability, while Partnership integrates both health care and long-term support services in home and community settings. The MCO changes are the result of a multi-year effort to improve the quality and accessibility of the state's long-term care services. Maps showing the five-year transition plan are available on the DHS website.
