The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) is opening a 30-day public comment period for the draft of the 2021 Wisconsin Medicaid Managed Care Quality Strategy. DHS invites you to submit your feedback by May 21, 2021.

The Quality Strategy describes DHS’ strategies for assessment and quality improvement of managed care services offered to Medicaid members. The 2021 Quality Strategy is the second version of the original Quality Strategy published in 2018. The 2021 Quality Strategy includes improvements based on Medicaid quality team review, public comment from the 2018 Quality Strategy, and feedback from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

The Quality Strategy sets a three-year vision for the Division of Medicaid Services to achieve its quality goals for managed care programs, and it is intended to evolve over time. The Quality Strategy includes the specific strategies Wisconsin will use to best meet the health care, service, and support needs of Wisconsin Medicaid members. The Quality Strategy includes BadgerCare Plus and Medicaid Supplemental Security Income health maintenance organizations, Health Homes, Family Care, Family Care Partnership, Children Come First, Wraparound Milwaukee, and Care4Kids managed care programs.

Public comment is an opportunity to submit your comments and feedback to DHS on the Quality Strategy. Find more information about the public comment period and review the 2021 Medicaid Managed Care Quality Strategy on the DHS website.
