  • UnitedHealthcare Community Plan now serves residents in 60
    Wisconsin counties
  • Plan participants have access to innovative wellness and
    member-outreach programs, and “Baby Blocks” for expectant mothers and
    newborns

MILWAUKEE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–UnitedHealthcare Community Plan has expanded its service area to include
four additional Wisconsin counties where it offers health care coverage
for individuals and families enrolled in BadgerCare Plus and Medicaid
SSI.

Effective July 1, 2016, UnitedHealthcare’s Community Health Plan is now
available in Adams, Columbia, Dane and Sauk counties.

BadgerCare Plus is for pregnant women, children to age 19 and adults who
meet income requirements. Medicaid SSI is for Wisconsin residents who
receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and offers extra support to
adults with special health care needs or a disability. These programs
offer comprehensive health coverage – including preventive care, primary
care, hospitalization, prescriptions and other services – often at low
or no cost.

People enrolled in UnitedHealthcare Community Plans have access to:

  • Wellness programs such as Healthy First Steps, as well as nurse
    outreach and support for beneficiaries who may need additional
    assistance in managing chronic diseases including diabetes.
  • “Baby Blocks,” a free, online, interactive program designed to help
    pregnant women and new mothers with prenatal and well-baby care.
  • Additional support through UnitedHealthcare’s member-outreach programs
    that remind and encourage them to seek preventive care.

The four new services areas now bring UnitedHealthcare Community Plan to
60 counties in Wisconsin. They include: Ashland, Barron, Bayfield,
Brown, Burnett, Calumet, Chippewa, Crawford, Dodge, Door, Douglas, Eau
Claire, Florence, Fond du Lac, Forest, Green, Green Lake, Jefferson,
Kenosha, Kewaunee, La Crosse, Langlade, Lincoln, Manitowoc, Marathon,

Shawano, Sheboygan, St. Croix, Taylor, Trempealeau, Vernon, Vilas,
Walworth, Washburn, Washington, Waukesha, Waupaca, Waushara, Winnebago
and Wood.

“We are grateful for the opportunity to serve more Wisconsin residents
by expanding service and providing innovative wellness programs that
give people access to affordable, quality health care, particularly
preventive care,” said Pam Stahl, CEO of UnitedHealthcare Community Plan
of Wisconsin. “We look forward to engaging with local health and other
community-based organizations as we strive to help improve the health of
our members and our communities.”
