The Honorable, The Legislature:
As required under s.
13.94(1)(dh), Wis. Stats., we have completed our annual financial audit of the Wisconsin Health Insurance Risk-Sharing Plan (HIRSP) Authority for 2009. The HIRSP Authority provides medical and prescription drug insurance for individuals who are unable to obtain coverage in the private market or who have lost employer-sponsored group health insurance. As of December 31, 2009, 16,381 policyholders were enrolled in one of the HIRSP Authority's plans. Enrollment has increased in 2010 as the HIRSP Authority reduces premiums and increases income limits for subsidies, and as individuals who have lost employer sponsored group coverage exhaust their COBRA benefits.
