Members Should Present Card
It is important that providers determine a member's enrollment and other insurance coverage prior to each DOS (date of service)
that services are provided. Pursuant to Wis. Admin. Code § DHS 104.02(2), a member should inform providers that they are
enrolled in BadgerCare Plus or Wisconsin Medicaid and should present a current ForwardHealth identification card before
receiving services.
Note: Due to the nature of their specialty, certain providers — such as anesthesiologists, radiologists, DME (durable medical
equipment) suppliers, independent laboratories, and ambulances — are not always able to see a member's ForwardHealth
identification card because they might not have direct contact with the member prior to providing the service. In these
circumstances, it is still the provider's responsibility to obtain member enrollment information.
