To the Honorable, the Assembly:
The
1999 Wisconsin Act 9 directs the Department of Health and Family Services (DHFS) to develop a dental outreach and education plan for Medicaid recipients and providers. I am pleased to send you the completed outreach and education plan, the fiscal estimate for implementing the plan on a statewide basis, and a letter of support from the Marquette University School of Dentistry. The two projects that are part of the plan are designed to address the educational barriers that Medicaid recipients face in accessing dental care and in building relationships with dental providers. Both projects include strategies to integrate this critical information into the academic preparation of dentists and dental hygienists.
The plan has been developed by DHFS in consultation with the following partner organizations: the Marquette University School of Dentistry, College of Nursing and School of Allied Health (Dental Hygiene); the Wisconsin Area Health Education Center; the Wisconsin Dental Association; the Children's Health Alliance; the Wisconsin Primary Health Care Association; the Department of Workforce Development; and the Department of Public Instruction. The plan represents a unique collaboration of key partners in addressing the issue of dental access for Wisconsin's low-income, Medicaid or uninsured citizens.
Thank you for your attention to this plan.
Sincerely,
Joe Leean
Secretary
Referred to committee on Health.

To the Honorable, the Assembly:
On behalf of the Board of Governors of the Health Insurance Risk Sharing Plan (HIRSP), I am pleased to submit the calendar year 1999 annual report. This submission is in accordance with the statutory requirements set forth in s.
149.15(2m).
A978
As reflected in the report, throughout 1999 the Department and HIRSP Board have made significant progress toward strengthening HIRSP.
We will continue to work with the Board to further streamline and strengthen HIRSP. In particular, over the course of the next year we will focus on developing additional cost-containment strategies to reduce overall HIRSP costs wherever possible.
We appreciate the continuing support of the Legislature. Please contact me if I may provide additional information.
Sincerely,
Joe Leean
Secretary
Referred to committee on Health.
