Wis. ForwardHealth Online Handbook, Hospice, Topic #829
Points of Consideration
Providers should consider the time and costs involved when choosing whether to submit a claim to ForwardHealth or seek
payment from a settlement.
Time
Providers are not required to seek payment from worker's compensation or civil liabilities, rather than seeking reimbursement from
BadgerCare Plus or Wisconsin Medicaid, because of the time involved to settle these cases. While some worker's compensation
cases and certain civil liability cases may be settled quickly, others may take several years before settlement is reached.
Costs
Providers may receive more than the allowed amount from the settlement; however, in some cases the settlement may not be
enough to cover all costs involved.
