Wisconsin insurance renewability

[Larry M]

Does the State of Wisconsin allow individual health policies, which are written in the state and cover residents of the state, to be non-renewed because of a change in the insured's health status?

[KIP KRAUS]

Larry:

Have you tried going to the Wisconcin state insurance commission web site and seeing if you can find the answer? Sometimes the state insurance commission sites can give you the answer.

Good Luck

[Guest Charlie Stevens]

The State of Wisconsin has taken the HIPAA changes very seriously and has adopted a Wisconsin version, which comports with HIPAA in many respects. Individual coverage is available, which cannot be rescinded merely due to a change in health status.

Please email if you have more specific questions.
