Scope and Content Note: Records of the Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner, 1981-2002, consisting of chronological outgoing correspondence, 1999-2000; meetings, 2000; and alphabetical subject files. Among the well documented topics are preparation of departmental budgets, managed care, Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) grievance policies, the response of the insurance industry to 9-11 terrorism; and the Health Insurance Risk Sharing Plan (HIRSP), Local Government Property Insurance Fund, and other state insurance funds managed by the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance (OCI). The HIRSP files include minutes and extensive meeting materials of its Board of Governors, 1999-2001. Files on the department's Small Employer Task Force document the rising cost of health care and health insurance for small businesses in Wisconsin. Most extensive are records pertaining to the conversion of Blue Cross/Blue Shield United of Wisconsin, Wisconsin's largest insurer, into a private company and health care foundation. These files include correspondence with legislators, physicians, and policy holders; financial data; the conversion application; and legal documents pertaining to the OCI hearing, the circuit court suit brought by Advocacy and Benefits Counseling for Health against OCI, and the new entities created after approval of the conversion.
