work was conducted by health insurance companies, lawyers and academics, health officials of the state, and Medicaid Director Jason Helgerson. they bounced around 500 ideas and came up with the Rate Wisconsin Medicaid reform bill finally. in the end, they found a way to reduce the patient benefits and pay doctors less without making cuts in eligibility for the insurance program disease.
Part of the money has been saved by reducing unnecessary procedures such as C-sections and approximately $ 0 million was saved by renegotiating the health maintenance organization (HMO) contracts. Most of the cuts came after online surveys were used, for providers and health workers to get their input.
