WI Enrollment Services Center

Phone Operator

In 1996, the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services (DHFS, now the department of Health Services) contracted with AHS to become the Enrollment Contractor and assist the state with Medicaid managed care expansion. At that time, enrollment into Medicaid and BadgerCare HMOs (Health Maintenance Organizations) became mandatory for consumers in zip code areas where there are two or more HMOs available from which to choose. We began to provide enrollment, education and outreach for the SSI Managed Care Program in 2005. AHS has been the exclusive resource for managed care enrollment services for the past 13 years in the State of Wisconsin. This experience uniquely positioned AHS to assist the Department with successfully designing, developing, and operating its new Enrollment Services Center Project.

Caller Comment: “I wanted to tell you how pleased I was with one of your Enrollment Specialists… She was so kind to me and explained things so well and took a lot of time to actually explain the enrollment. She has a wonderful speaking voice, she puts you at ease, and has a nice sense of humor. I thank you and I hope you give her a pat on the back.”
