Thousands could lose health care when the federal public health emergency expires

DHS has provided additional funding to help with the endeavor to Covering Wisconsin, a nonprofit licensed health care navigator with resources across the state to help with enrolling for health insurance on the federal exchange. During the renewal process, people who learn they no longer qualify for BadgerCare would be referred to Covering Wisconsin.

“Whenever there’s a transition point like this where people need to go through the renewal process, even just during normal times, that is just a challenging process to go through,” says Courtney Harris, ​​outreach and partner relations manager at Covering Wisconsin. “And so just making sure that people complete the renewal or their new application is a big lift in and of itself.”
