Family Care Survey Open for Providers
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) is renewing the Family Care and Family Care Partnership waivers. A waiver is a special set of rules that allows for Medicaid programs like Family Care. For Family Care, it includes the 1915(b) and 1915(c) waivers. With them, DHS can fund more services and supports to help Family Care and Family Care Partnership members stay in their homes and communities.
The waivers must be renewed every five years. DHS is asking that providers complete a survey to help make Family Care and Family Care Partnership better between 2025 and 2030.
DHS is requesting that Family Care and Family Care Partnership members, families, caregivers, providers, managed care organizations, advocates, and other partners to share their thoughts.
Responses are due by August 1. WHCA/WiCAL will also be submitting a survey and additional feedback regarding waiver changes so please send us your thoughts so we may include them in our comments.
Please contact Kate Dickson with any questions or comments for the association’s feedback. You may also visit the waiver website here.
