Watch Our Podcast on Changes to Medicaid
Conversations to Creating a Healthy Community is the podcast from the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) that brings together local leaders, expert, and community voices to discuss issues that impact the health and well-being of residents across Milwaukee County.
In this featured episode, "Changes to Medicaid," DHHS Executive Director Shakita LaGrant-McClain is joined by Wisconsin Department of Health Services Secretary Kirsten Johnson, Milwaukee County Supervisor Caroline Gómez-Tom, and Justin Rivas of the Milwaukee Health Care Partnership/Milwaukee Enrollment Network (MKEN) for a conversation about upcoming changes to Wisconsin Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus. Together, they discuss who may be affected, when the changes will take effect, and how local organizations are working to help residents understand the new requirements, maintain healthcare coverage, and access the information and resources they need.
The Milwaukee County Benefit Enrollment Center has helped hundreds of older and disabled residents access the benefits they need.
We know many others still need support.
