The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) is seeking information to inform Wisconsin’s application for the new Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP). We invite the submission of ideas, insights, considerations, and project concepts aligned with the goals of the RHTP. You can find all the Request for Information (RFI) materials here: https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/business/rhtp.htm.

The state’s RHTP application must align with the required use categories and eligibility criteria defined by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). DHS intends to pursue a comprehensive approach to meet the needs of Wisconsin communities.  

DHS welcomes responses from any interested party. Respondents are encouraged to consider how their input may align with local or regional efforts, and where appropriate, to collaborate with other organizations serving the same communities or populations.  

Questions related to the Request for Information (RFI) are due to DHS by 2 p.m. CST on August 18, 2025, and complete responses are due by 2 p.m. CST on September 3, 2025. To submit questions, email DHSProcurement@dhs.wisconsin.gov. Use the subject line S-1833 OS-26 RHTP – Questions when submitting questions by email. 

DHS will hold informational webinars on August 14 and August 15 from 10-10:30 a.m. Please register to attend:
