Board of Health Care Information

April 23, 2001

The Honorable, The Legislature:

The purpose of this letter is to inform you about the Wisconsin Consumer Guide to Health Care, an Internet-based resource that enables the state's citizens to make informed choices about their health care. It fulfills the 1997 Wisconsin Act 231 mandate, which requires that the Department of Health and Family Services (DHFS) produce a guide to assist consumers in choosing health care providers and plans.

To view the Guide, you can go through the DHFS Web site (http://www/dhfs.state.wi.us) or access it directly (http://www.dhfs.state.wi.us/guide). The Bureau of Health Care Information also has brochures, which are available for your distribution, describing the Guide's contents and how to access it. To obtain this brochure, please call Joan Gugel at [phone] or send her a fax at [phone].

Sincerely,

Ronald H. Dix

Chairperson
