ETF Talks About Change to Self-Insurance

The Group Insurance Board recently approved changing Wisconsin’s health insurance program from fully-insured to a self-insured/regional structure starting in 2018.

What does this mean for members? Same benefits, higher standards for quality of care, and 98% of providers available today will be available in the new structure. Lisa Ellinger, Director of ETF’s Office of Strategic Health Policy, addresses this question and others in a recent segment of Wisconsin Public Television’s Here and Now. Watch it here.
