The Honorable, The Senate:
In fulfillment of the requirements under s.
299.83(8)(h), Wisconsin State Statutes, I am transmitting the 2009 Green Tier Biennial Progress Report. Please distribute as appropriate. I am also providing a copy of the Report to the Governor and to the Chief Clerk of the Assembly.
S914
Green Tier continues to provide tools and strategies to make Wisconsin the ideal state for growing the green bottom line. Businesses have weathered the economic crisis and some have even grown as a result of the working relationships and flexibility that we have been able to provide. This report not only provides some retrospective analysis of what we have done but also the insights of some very thoughtful partners about what we can do. In so doing, our hope is that the report will provide information that stimulates conversations and actions that make sustainable behavior and practices a more integral part of public policy and business practice.
For more information on the Green Tier and environmental performance programs or additional copies of this report, please contact Mark McDermid at (608) 267-3125, or visit our website at

Thank you.
Sincerely,

The Honorable, The Legislature:
As required by
2009 Act 28, Section
1301e, this letter provides a brief summary of the Southeast Wisconsin HMO plans for implementing Patient-Centered Medical Homes for high-risk pregnant women in their service area. I have also attached a copy of each of the four complete plans for your information as well as a copy of the relevant HMO contract language.
The four BadgerCare Plus-contracted health plans in SE Wisconsin are: Abri Health Plan, Children's Community Health Plan, CommunityConnect Healthplan and United Healthcare. These four HMOs were selected through a Request for Proposal to serve BadgerCare Plus members enrolled in the Standard and Benchmark plans in Milwaukee County and the five surrounding counties.
I am pleased to report that all four health plans are working together on this initiative and have jointly recruited several clinics to serve as medical home pilot sites. The sites serve predominately low-income, minority populations and provide comprehensive prenatal and postpartum care for high-risk women. A list of the sites is enclosed for your information.
The medical home pilots will begin operation on January 1, 2011 and continue through the life of the current contract, December 30, 2013. By contract, each HMO is required to enroll a minimum of 100 women in the medical homes in year one, 200 per HMO in year two and 300 per HMO in year three. DHS anticipates much higher enrollment rates by the second year of the pilot.
