Wis. ForwardHealth Online Handbook, Hospice, Topic #4900

Enrollment information is provided based on a From DOS (date of service) and a To DOS that the provider enters when making

the enrollment inquiry. For enrollment inquires, a From DOS is the earliest date for which the provider is requesting enrollment

information and the To DOS is the latest date for which the provider is requesting enrollment information.

Providers should use the following guidelines for entering DOS when verifying enrollment for Wisconsin Medicaid, BadgerCare

Plus, SeniorCare, or WCDP (Wisconsin Chronic Disease Program) members:

• The From DOS is the earliest date the provider requires enrollment information.

• The To DOS must be within 365 days of the From DOS.

• If the date of the request is prior to the 20th of the current month, then providers may enter a From DOS and To DOS up

to the end of the current calendar month.

• If the date of the request is on or after the 20th of the current month, then providers may enter a From DOS and To DOS

up to the end of the following calendar month.

For example, if the date of the request was November 15, 2008, the provider could request dates up to and including November

30, 2008. If the date of the request was November 25, 2008, the provider could request dates up to and including December 31,

2008.
