Health insurance companies often require healthcare professionals to get permission before they prescribe medication or care that Wisconsinites need.

Gov. Evers is proposing to make Wisconsin the first state in America to start auditing insurance companies over denying Wisconsinites’ healthcare claims.

Gov. Evers is proposing to create new standards to expand the healthcare services and procedures that insurance companies are required to cover.
