Out-of-Area Care
BadgerCare Plus HMOs and Medicaid SSI HMOs may cover medically necessary care provided to enrollees when they travel
outside the HMO's or SSI HMO's service area. The HMO or SSI HMO is required to authorize the services before the services
are provided, except in cases of emergency. If the HMO or SSI HMO does not authorize the services, the enrollee may be held
responsible for the cost of those services.

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.
