Contracted Staff
Under a few circumstances (for example, personal care, case management services), providers may contract with non-Medicaid-enrolled agencies for services. Providers are legally, programmatically, and fiscally responsible for the services provided by their
contractors and their contractors' services.
When contracting services, providers are required to ensure contracted agencies are qualified to provide services, meet all
ForwardHealth and program requirements, and maintain records in accordance with the requirements for the provision of
services.
Medicaid requirements do not relieve contracted agencies of their own regulatory requirements. Contracted agencies are required
to continue to meet their own regulatory requirements, in addition to ForwardHealth requirements.
Providers are also responsible for informing a contracted agency of ForwardHealth requirements. Providers should refer those
with whom they contract for services to ForwardHealth publications for program policies and procedures. ForwardHealth
references and publications include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Wisconsin Administrative Code
• ForwardHealth Updates
• The Online Handbook
Providers should encourage contracted agencies to visit the ForwardHealth Portal regularly for the most current information.
