InsureMe Answers Your Questions on Wisconsin Health Insurance
What will Wisconsin health insurance do for me?
The State of Wisconsin has taken great provisions to help their residents obtain Wisconsin health insurance as well as to protect them after they have received it.
- Coverage under a group plan cannot be denied or limited to you because of your health status. This protection is called nondiscrimination.
- If you own a small business and choose to purchase a group insurance plan, you cannot be turned down because of your group's age or health status. This is known as the guaranteed issue.
- Most Wisconsin health insurance policies are guaranteed renewable. This means that your individual health insurance cannot be cancelled if you get sick.
What if I can't find Wisconsin health insurance?
If you are unable to find individual Wisconsin health insurance in the normal market, you may be eligible for the Wisconsin Health Risk Insurance Plan (HIRSP).
HIRSP is a high-risk pool for individuals who cannot obtain regular Wisconsin health insurance due to medical conditions. For more information, or to apply, contact HIRSP Customer Service at (800) 828-4777.
What if I can't afford Wisconsin health insurance?
BadgerCare is a Wisconsin health insurance program to assist low-income, working families with health care coverage. To be eligible for BadgerCare, you must comply with the following requirements:
- Your income must fall within BadgerCare guidelines
- You must have kids under the age of 19 living with you
- You must not be covered under any form of Wisconsin health insurance
Low-income families may also receive financial assistance through Wisconsin Medicaid. Wisconsin Medicaid offers coverage for families, pregnant women and the elderly and disabled.
Additionally, Well Woman Medicaid provides full coverage for women who have been screened and diagnosed with breast and/or cervical cancer through the Wisconsin Well Woman Program (WWWP).
How much will my Wisconsin health insurance cost?
If you purchase individual Wisconsin health insurance, the cost will be largely determined by your health status. The more costly your health condition(s), the higher your premium is likely to be.
