Members 20 Years of Age or Younger Electing Hospice
ForwardHealth members who are 20 years of age or younger who elect hospice services may receive any medically necessary
BadgerCare Plus- and Medicaid-covered services concurrently with hospice care, as long as those services are not duplicative of
services covered under the hospice benefit. Prior to enactment of the ACA (Affordable Care Act), curative treatment of a
member's terminal illness ceased upon election of the hospice benefit.
Members who are 20 years of age or younger who elect the hospice benefit are required to use the Election of Hospice Benefit
for Members 20 and Under (F-01009A (12/2010)) form. Members who are 21 years of age or older are required to use the
Election of Hospice Benefit for Members 21 and Older (F-01009B (12/2010)) form. The hospice is responsible for notifying
ForwardHealth of the member's hospice election through the ForwardHealth Portal or the Notification of Hospice Benefit Election
(F-01008 (05/2023)) form.
