Wis. ForwardHealth Online Handbook, Hospice, Topic #470

Most forms may be obtained from the Forms page of the ForwardHealth Portal.

Forms on the Portal are available as fillable PDF files, which can be viewed with Adobe Reader computer software. Providers

may also complete and print fillable PDF files using Adobe Reader.

To complete a fillable PDF, follow these steps:

• Select a specific form.

• Save the form to the computer.

• Use the Tab key to move from field to field.

Note: The Portal provides instructions on how to obtain Adobe Reader at no charge from the Adobe website. Adobe Reader

only allows providers to view and print completed PDFs. It does not allow users to save completed fillable PDFs to their

computer; however, if Adobe Acrobat is purchased, providers may save completed PDFs to their computer. Refer to the Adobe

website for more information about fillable PDFs.

Selected forms are also available in fillable Microsoft Word format on the Portal. The fillable Microsoft Word format allows

providers to complete and print the form using Microsoft Word. To complete a fillable Microsoft Word form, follow these steps:

• Select a specific form.

• Save the form to the computer.

• Use the Tab key to move from field to field.

Note: Providers may save fillable Microsoft Word documents to their computer by choosing Save As from the File menu, creating

a file name, and selecting Save on their desktop.
