Medicaid: Programs for Pregnant People
Worried about the federal government shutdown?
DHS is closely monitoring the current federal government shutdown. Our goal is to keep the public informed, especially our Medicaid members who receive vital health care and services. Even though the federal government has shutdown, Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus members still have coverage to get the care and services they need. We will share information as it becomes available. For updates, visit the Medicaid News page.
Wisconsin Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps more than one million people throughout the state get:
- High-quality health care.
- Long-term care.
- Other services that promote your health and well-being.
