  • The Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) grant supports local efforts to increase awareness about low-income subsidies (LIS), Medicare Savings Programs (MSP), Medicare Part D in rural areas, SeniorCare Level 1, and Medicare's preventive benefits.

The Medicare outreach and assistance resources page contains resources and tools for you as professional, to assist in your role of raising awareness and understanding of Medicare throughout Wisconsin. Documents were reorganized in August 2025. If you cannot find what you need or have something to add to our collection of outreach materials, please contact the Medicare Outreach Coordinator.

Medicare counseling for Wisconsin residents is provided by a broad network of community partners. Working together, we ensure Medicare beneficiaries can make confident, well-informed decisions about their health insurance and get help when they need it. Learn more about the network of professionals on the DHS State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) webpage.

 Look through the links below to find what you need or contact us to help with questions like:

  • Where can I find newsletter articles about Medicare’s preventive benefits?
  • What materials can I use to promote LIS or MSPs in my county?
  • Do you have any materials in other languages?

 

We are still updating the Medicare Outreach and Assistance Resource page and content. Some items have moved to the SHIP TA Center. If you are not finding what you need please reach out to Stephanie Haas, Medicare Outreach Coordinator at stephanie.haas@gwaar.org
