Wis. ForwardHealth Online Handbook, Hospice, Topic #4898

When making an enrollment inquiry through Wisconsin's EVS (Enrollment Verification System), the returned response will provide

information on the member's enrollment in benefit plans based on financial payers.

There are three financial payers under ForwardHealth:

• Medicaid (Medicaid is the financial payer for Wisconsin Medicaid, BadgerCare Plus, and SeniorCare).

• WCDP (Wisconsin Chronic Disease Program).

• WWWP (Wisconsin Well Woman Program).

Within each financial payer are benefit plans. Each member is enrolled under at least one of the three financial payers, and under

each financial payer, is enrolled in at least one benefit plan. An individual member may be enrolled under more than one financial

payer. (For instance, a member with chronic renal disease may have health care coverage under BadgerCare Plus and the WCDP

chronic renal disease program. The member is enrolled under two financial payers, Medicaid and WCDP.) Alternatively, a

member may have multiple benefits under a single financial payer. (For example, a member may be covered by Tuberculosis-

Related Medicaid and Family Planning Only Services at the same time, both of which are administered by Medicaid.)
