With rising inflation, high healthcare costs, and a tight labor market, businesses are looking for solutions to keep their employees engaged and increase productivity.

Attendees will learn how to think differently to create a transformative culture that builds trust, fosters productivity, and retains talent. When organizations create a culture of accountability, especially when it comes to the health and well-being of their employees, they position themselves to manage change, implement critical initiatives, and create high-performing organizations.

Understanding the Medicaid and
BadgerCare Plus Unwinding Period
and How to Support Your Employees

Thursday, May 18th, 9:00am – 10:30am CT

Regulations put in place during the COVID-19 public health emergency relaxed eligibility requirements for Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus, allowing more people to have coverage through these programs. Since the public health emergency has expired, the relaxed eligibility is ending which is expected to cause many people to lose coverage.

Covering Wisconsin is hosting a webinar to help employers understand the impact of the Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus “unwinding period” and what they need to do to ensure their employees have the opportunity to enroll in their employer health plan. Attendees will also receive resources like flyers and outreach cards to share with employees.

The Alliance is proud to join Covering Wisconsin, the Milwaukee Enrollment Network, the Business Health Care Group and the Milwaukee Health Care Partnership as webinar sponsors.
