Wis. ForwardHealth Online Handbook, Hospice, Topic #4901

The secure ForwardHealth Portal offers real-time member enrollment verification for all ForwardHealth programs. Providers will

be able to use this tool to determine:

• The benefit plan(s) in which the member is enrolled.

• If the member is enrolled in a state-contracted managed care program (for Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus members).

• If the member has any other coverage, such as Medicare or commercial health insurance.

• If the member is exempted from copays (BadgerCare Plus and Medicaid members only).

To access enrollment verification via the ForwardHealth Portal, providers will need to do the following:

• Go to the ForwardHealth Portal.

• Establish a provider account.

• Log into the secure Portal.

• Click on the menu item for enrollment verification.

Providers will receive a unique transaction number for each enrollment verification inquiry. Providers may access a history of their

enrollment inquiries using the Portal, which will list the date the inquiry was made and the enrollment information that was given on

the date that the inquiry was made. For a more permanent record of inquiries, providers are advised to use the print screen

function to save a paper copy of enrollment verification inquiries for their records or document the transaction number at the

beginning of the response, for tracking or research purposes. This feature allows providers to access enrollment verification history

when researching claim denials due to enrollment issues.

The Provider Portal is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
