Wisconsin health plans reduce variation in health care by, for example, adopting treatment protocols, conducting studies and working with providers on improving care. Nationally, variation in health care results in up to 81,000 deaths and $3.9 billion in avoidable health care costs.

Medicaid managed care health plans provide better care and greater value for taxpayers. They work with their communities to provide innovative new programs to help with individuals' health needs. An analysis of 24 state Medicaid managed care health plans found that the Medicaid managed care plans provide up to 20 percent in savings versus fee-for-service Medicaid programs.
