- UnitedHealthcare Community Plan now
serves residents in 60 Wisconsin counties
- Plan participants have access to
innovative wellness and member-outreach programs, and “Baby Blocks”
for expectant mothers and newborns
UnitedHealthcare Community Plan has expanded its service area to
include four additional Wisconsin counties where it offers health
care coverage for individuals and families enrolled in BadgerCare
Plus and Medicaid SSI.
Effective July 1, 2016, UnitedHealthcare’s Community Health Plan
is now available in Adams, Columbia, Dane and Sauk counties.
BadgerCare Plus is for pregnant women, children to age 19 and
adults who meet income requirements. Medicaid SSI is for Wisconsin
residents who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and offers
extra support to adults with special health care needs or a
disability. These programs offer comprehensive health coverage –
including preventive care, primary care, hospitalization,
prescriptions and other services – often at low or no cost.
People enrolled in UnitedHealthcare Community Plans have access
to:
- Wellness programs such as Healthy First
Steps, as well as nurse outreach and support for beneficiaries who
may need additional assistance in managing chronic diseases
including diabetes.
- “Baby Blocks,” a free, online,
interactive program designed to help pregnant women and new mothers
with prenatal and well-baby care.
- Additional support through
UnitedHealthcare’s member-outreach programs that remind and
encourage them to seek preventive care.
The four new services areas now bring UnitedHealthcare Community
Plan to 60 counties in Wisconsin. They include: Ashland, Barron,
Bayfield, Brown, Burnett, Calumet, Chippewa, Crawford, Dodge, Door,
Douglas, Eau Claire, Florence, Fond du Lac, Forest, Green, Green

engaging with local health and other community-based organizations
