Family Planning Only Services is a limited benefit program that provides routine contraceptive management or related services to

low-income individuals who are of childbearing/reproductive age (typically 15 years of age or older) and who are otherwise not

eligible for Wisconsin Medicaid or BadgerCare Plus. Members receiving Family Planning Only Services must be receiving routine

contraceptive management or related services.

Note: Members who meet the enrollment criteria may receive routine contraceptive management or related services immediately

by temporarily enrolling in Family Planning Only Services through EE (Express Enrollment).

The goal of Family Planning Only Services is to provide members with information and services to assist them in preventing

pregnancy, making BadgerCare Plus enrollment due to pregnancy less likely. Providers should explain the purpose of Family

Planning Only Services to members and encourage them to contact their certifying agency to determine their enrollment options if

they are not interested in, or do not need, contraceptive services.

Members enrolled in Family Planning Only Services receive routine services to prevent or delay pregnancy and are not eligible for

other services (for example, PT (physical therapy) services, dental services). Even if a medical condition is discovered during a

family planning visit, treatment for the condition is not covered under Family Planning Only Services unless the treatment is

identified in the list of allowable procedure codes for Family Planning Only Services.

Members are also not eligible for certain other services that are covered under Wisconsin Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus (for

example, mammograms and hysterectomies). If a medical condition, other than an STD (sexually transmitted disease), is

discovered during routine contraceptive management or related services, treatment for the medical condition is not covered under

Family Planning Only Services.

Colposcopies and treatment for STDs are only covered through Family Planning Only Services if they are determined medically

necessary during routine contraceptive management or related services. A colposcopy is a covered service when an abnormal

result is received from a pap test, prior to the colposcopy, while the member is enrolled in Family Planning Only Services and

receiving contraceptive management or related services.

Family Planning Only Services members diagnosed with cervical cancer, precancerous conditions of the cervix, or breast cancer

may be eligible for Wisconsin Well Woman Medicaid. Providers should assist eligible members with the enrollment process for

Well Woman Medicaid.

Providers should inform members about other coverage options and provide referrals for care not covered by Family Planning

Only Services.
