Emergencies
Certain program requirements and reimbursement procedures are modified in emergency situations. Emergency services are
defined in Wis. Admin. Code § DHS 101.03(52), as those services that are necessary to prevent the death or serious impairment
of the health of the individual. Emergency services are not reimbursed unless they are covered services.
Additional definitions and procedures for emergencies exist in other situations, such as dental and mental health.
Program requirements and reimbursement procedures may be modified in the following ways:
• PA (prior authorization) or other program requirements may be waived in emergency situations.
• Non-U.S. citizens may be eligible for covered services in emergency situations.
