Your Shield Against Medical Debt
My Coverage Plan is a software developer and service provider that emerged from a nonprofit public interest law firm, ABC for Health Inc.
About My Coverage Plan, Inc.
Medical debt is a public health crisis and a community pain point. Far too often, a health care provider relies on coercive collections activities instead of helping uninsured, vulnerable populations connect to the health care and coverage they need and deserve. The pain of uncompensated care – bad debt and charity care – at Wisconsin hospitals exceeds $1.4 billion dollars. Those dollars reflect a fixable failure in the health care system.
Together, My Coverage Plan, Inc. and ABC for Health, Inc. work to get ahead of the debt and stop avoidable medical bills at the get-go. With proactive tools and learning strategies, the companies work in a social entrepreneurial spirit, to guide providers and patients on a path to coverage and avoid medical debt. There are no quick fixes in medical debt. Instead, My Coverage plan builds medical debt mitigation strategies and reduces health insurance coverage/knowledge gaps. The results are life changing.
My Coverage Plan, Inc. is a technology development company, and a subsidiary of nonprofit, public-interest law firm ABC for Health, Inc. Founded with support of SBIR funds in 2010 from the National Institutes of Health’s Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities.
ABC for Health is a public interest law firm that promotes health equity and social justice. For over 30 years, ABC for Health has helped clients impacted by health disparities due to income, race, or poverty to connect to health care coverage and services in Wisconsin.

Solutions Built for Your Growth
FirstCheck Wisconsin
FirstCheck Wisconsin is a web application screening tool that uses decision support technology to help guide the user/interviewee through an intake interview. The interview process includes questions about household, income, coverage, and demographics. FirstCheck Wisconsin uses a TurboTax®-style approach, to expand low-income consumers' access to health insurance benefits and support and avoid certain medical debts. Our Precision Patient Advocacy process distills the inputs into both coverage and referral recommendations. The tool promotes program efficiency and process improvement, while also building sustainability. As of mid-2024 we automated the FirstCheck Wisconsin referral process! End user referrals drop directly into Advocus, creating efficiency for users and partners.
Advocus
Since 2018, Advocus is My Coverage Plan’s flagship application that ABC staff use, evaluate and iterate as a premium case and client management tool. It helps end-users identify and optimize their patients’ healthcare coverage and create a coverage roadmap that tracks and responds to their changing life events. This creates a unique win-win: patients receive informed and optimized coverage recommendations and providers secure more revenue from a better-covered patient population.
FPL Calculator
The FPL Calcuator is a simple online form that determines an individual or family’s standing relative to the current annual Federal Poverty Level. This calculation only requires one’s income and family size, but the percentage value it provides occurs frequently in eligibility determinations for public and private healthcare coverage programs. The tool is a key resource for both consumers and benefits staff nationwide, receiving nearly 400,000 site visits and 150,000 unique users annually.
Gurulz
Knowledge is power. This applies squarely to access to health care coverage. Gurulz is an emerging learning management system designed to educate a spectrum of learners about access to health care coverage with an emphasis on patients vulnerable to health disparities. Subject Matter Experts at ABC for Health, Inc. have researched and advanced new opportunities to develop sustainable continuing education and learning opportunities. The framework is a health benefits learning tool matrix (BLT), with content and source materials for four learner categories (from the basic to expert level) in 14 learning modules covering over 150 courses related to public benefits, private insurance, and legal and advocacy strategy. The content is tailored to the learner’s needs after individual assessments inside our robust Learning Management System.

Crucial assistance
“Our partnership has been extremely successful in helping my patients obtain health insurance or apply for financial assistance. Many of my patients have multiple factors that affects their ability to think or process a lot of information at once (such as high ACES scores-traumatic events in childhood, limited education, grasp of the English language, feeling overwhelmed or stuck) so having someone alongside them to navigate the complexities of healthcare is crucial.”
