Share your thoughts for the next five years of the IRIS program

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) is renewing the IRIS waiver. A waiver is a special set of rules that allows us to have Medicaid programs like the IRIS program. For IRIS, it includes the 1915(c) waiver. With it, we can fund services and supports to help IRIS participants stay in their homes and communities.

We must renew the waiver every five years. This is a chance for us to make the IRIS program better between 2026 and 2031. We can improve policy, services, and other things that can make the programs better for participants.

How can I get involved?

The survey closes August 2.

We want IRIS participants, families and friends, caregivers and providers, IRIS contract staff, advocates, and other partners to share their thoughts.

We want to know how the IRIS program can better serve participants. This is a chance to share your ideas about services, supports, and other areas of care. It’s available in English, Hmong, and Spanish.
