Federal Government To Design Wisconsin Health Insurance Exchange?

Wisconsin citizens had hope that State planners could establish a Wisconsin Health Insurance Exchange.  To date Wisconsin has been unable to facilitate the infrastructure needed to design and maintain this dynamic change in marketing health insurance products to consumers.

Today the Wisconsin Office Of The Commissioner of Insurance penned a letter to the Department of Health and Human Services requesting additional guidelines.  The Wisconsin Office of The Commissioner of Insurance perceives the need for specific standards in the form of an essential health benefits benchmark plan to move forward on the exchanges. 

The essential health benefits is simply a list of noted standards an individual would expect to receive when purchasing a health insurance product.  An example would be access to:
-emergency care
-mental health care
-hospitalization
-prescription medications
-pediatric care
-maternity care
-rehab therapies

This may indicate to the federal government a need for intervention is required to assure State of Wisconsin consumers will have access to the coming health insurance exchanges.  A lack of invested planning and development on the part of the State Of Wisconsin can result in the federal government doing a take over.   Many seniors have held the belief that Wisconsin should participate in the planning and development of the coming health insurance exchanges to insure the community needs are given proper consideration.  Home Care Path encourages seniors and family to watch this health insurance issue as it unfolds.
