Electronic Notifications from ForwardHealth
ForwardHealth sends electronic messaging using both email subscription and secure Portal messaging to notify providers of newly
released ForwardHealth Updates. ForwardHealth also uses electronic messaging to communicate training opportunities and other
timely information.
Secure Portal Messages
Providers who have established a secure ForwardHealth Portal account automatically receive messages from ForwardHealth in
their secure Portal Messages inbox.
Email Subscription Messages
Providers and other interested parties may register to receive email subscription notifications. When registering for email
subscription, providers and other interested parties are able to select, by program (for example, Wisconsin Medicaid,
BadgerCare Plus, HDAP (Wisconsin HIV Drug Assistance Program), or WCDP (Wisconsin Chronic Disease Program)),
provider type (for example, physician, hospital, DME (durable medical equipment) vendor), and/or specific area of interest,
(Trading Partner and ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) Project Information) to designate what
information they would like to receive. Any number of staff or other interested parties from an organization may sign up for an
email subscription and may select multiple subscription options.

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.
