Cost Sharing
According to federal regulations, providers cannot hold a member responsible for any commercial or Medicare cost-sharing
amount such as coinsurance, copay, or deductible. Therefore, a provider may not collect payment from a member, or authorized
person acting on behalf of the member, for copays required by other health insurance sources. Instead, the provider should collect
from the member only the Medicaid or BadgerCare Plus copay amount indicated on the member's remittance information.

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.
