Why your county matters for coverage
In Wisconsin, the health plans you can choose depend on where you live. Medicare Advantage and Part D plans are offered by service area, usually county by county, and marketplace premiums and carriers are set by area as well. Living in Outagamie County means the options on this page apply to you, and plans in a neighboring county may differ.
- Medicare: Wisconsin Medigap Helpline gives free, unbiased counseling at 800-242-1060. Ask which plans serve Outagamie County specifically.
- Marketplace plans: shop through HealthCare.gov (federal Marketplace); enter your Outagamie County ZIP code to see what is offered.
- Medicaid: apply through BadgerCare Plus (Wisconsin Department of Health Services).
Wisconsin note: Wisconsin's Medicare counseling program goes by a distinct name, the Medigap Helpline, rather than a more generic SHIP label, and it's specifically run by the Board on Aging and Long-Term Care rather than the Department of Health Services that runs BadgerCare Plus.
