Medicaid SSI health care coverage is for individuals age 65 or older, blind or disabled. Security Health Plan will administer this program for individuals living in 12 counties throughout central and northcentral Wisconsin.

Individuals enrolled in Security Health Plan’s Medicaid SSI program receive access to a care team consisting of a registered nurse, social worker and community support specialist. They work together to ensure each member gets individualized attention to manage their health, connects them with resources in their community, helps identify potential health risks, and checks on them after any hospital, emergency room or skilled nursing facility stay.
