Since 1946, we’ve earned countless accolades for our capabilities and they’ve grown with each passing year. It’s never been enough for us to be satisfied with our past successes or settle for our past capabilities.
With every claim and every year in service, our company and workforce has become more qualified and experienced. This is how WPS is able to deliver dependability and quality assurance to all the federal government contracts we support.
Through more than 75 years and millions of claims, we've proven ourselves to be an effective, efficient, and responsive claims processor. We have the technology, staff, and expertise to consistently beat deadlines and exceed quality requirements.

We process 214.5 million claims and make $62.1 billion in payments each year. In all, WPS serves more than 7 million Medicare beneficiaries, 9 million active-duty military, veterans, and their families, and more than 55,000 Wisconsin residents who are in a Wisconsin Medicaid Long-Term Care program.
