We take a different approach to health insurance, providing personalized service while treating you with courtesy and respect. From our headquarters in Menasha to our office in Brookfield, we work to meet the needs of our members throughout Wisconsin.

Quality That Matters

A 5-Star rating means you have a plan that shines at serving its members and keeping them healthy. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services also rewards high-rated plans with bonus payments to be spent on extra member benefits.

Quality You Can Trust

Quality is engrained within the culture of Network Health and the work of each employee. Our commitment to quality isn’t about our awards, excellent quality ratings or accreditations. Yes, we continue to exceed the industry’s highest standards, but at Network Health we put the spotlight on you.

Our quality department focuses on improving the health care services you receive every day, ensuring your experience with Network Health exceeds expectations. And our members appreciate our level of service and coverage. That’s why 98 percent stayed with us last year.*
