Wisconsin Health Insurance Laws and Regulations
Before a Wisconsin health insurance company will accept an applicant for coverage and set their premiums, they look at the applicant's health status.
But Wisconsin health insurance shoppers do have some protections according to state and federal laws. For example, insurers in the state are not allowed to cancel a policyholder's coverage if they become sick or get injured.
All Wisconsin health insurance plans are also required to cover certain medical services. Some of these mandated services include:
- Screening for cervical and breast cancer
- Diabetes care
- Care for pregnant women
- Vaccinations for children
In addition, Wisconsin health insurance law requires insurers to cover mental and physical health conditions equally.
The federal government provides protection for health plan shoppers in Wisconsin as well. Residents who recently left an employer's group health plan and meet other requirements are HIPAA-eligible, which prohibits insurers from restricting coverage.
Learn more about HIPAA here.
Residents who are turned down for coverage because of their health status, they can purchase coverage through the state's high-risk health insurance pool, the Wisconsin Health Insurance Risk Sharing Plan.
