Medicaid: News for Members
You’re the Medicaid expert Wisconsin needs
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) is putting together a Medicaid Member Experience Council (MMEC). It’s a group of people with experience using Medicaid who’ll help us make it better.
- Build a better future for Medicaid. As an MMEC ambassador, you will help us focus on topics that are important. You’ll partner with us on improvements to make Medicaid better for everyone. Together, we’ll build trust and pave the way for change.
- Join in and speak up. You will connect with decision makers to tell us what’s working, and what’s not. You’ll be involved every step of the way, from finding gaps in services, to proposing solutions, to making decisions on what to do next.
Learn more about MMEC and apply by May 12
