Wisconsin Extends Civil Rights Compliance Period for Medicaid Providers Through 2028
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services extended the civil rights compliance period for recipients of federal financial assistance through December 31, 2028. The compliance period, which began January 1, 2022, was originally set to expire on December 31, 2026. This extension affects Medicaid providers and health plans that receive federal financial assistance through DHS and must maintain compliance with civil rights requirements. The extension provides an additional two years under the current compliance framework before any potential updates to civil rights compliance requirements take effect.
Why it mattersWisconsin Medicaid providers and MCOs have two additional years to operate under existing civil rights compliance standards before facing potential new requirements, affecting operational planning and compliance timelines.
