BadgerCare+ Changes
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services has been seeking federal approval to make significant modifications to BadgerCare+ with the final changes to be determined by Dec. 31, 2011. Though this self-imposed deadline has passed, there are currently no changes to BadgerCare+ eligibility or benefits. BadgerCare+ remains as it was: an affordable, high quality option for health care coverage for virtually all children and many parents/care-taker relatives.
While we still expect some program changes to occur, it is not clear what those changes will be, nor when they will take effect. Adults in families with incomes above 133% of the Federal Poverty Level may be most at risk of changes to eligibility, costs and/or benefits. We will post alerts as soon as we become aware of impending changes to program eligibility, cost or enrollment processes. For now, families should continue to be encouraged to apply at www.access.wi.gov.
