THE VALUED VOICE

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) and the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance (OCI) are teaming up to promote health insurance open enrollment events during this year’s enrollment period, Nov. 1 – Dec. 15.

WHA members are encouraged to submit details about upcoming enrollment events to DHS, which will serve as a central location for enrollment information this fall. Deadline for submission is Oct. 18.

DHS Secretary-designee Andrea Palm and OCI Insurance Commissioner Mark Afable are also making themselves available to attend enrollment media events. You can send a request if you are interested in extending an invitation.

These efforts stem from the work of the DHS/OCI Health Care Coverage Partnership Advisory Council formed this summer. WHA is a participating member of the Advisory Council.
