Payer of Last Resort
Except for a few instances, Wisconsin Medicaid or BadgerCare Plus is the payer of last resort for any covered services.
Therefore, the provider is required to make a reasonable effort to exhaust all other existing health insurance sources before
submitting claims to ForwardHealth or to a state-contracted MCO (managed care organization).

The link goes to the issuing authority’s own document — the one we read to produce this record. Where a source publishes whole titles rather than sections, your browser may need a moment to jump to the provision.
Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
