Description
The BadgerCare Plus expansion to low-income childless adults is the second step in a comprehensive strategy to ensure access to affordable health insurance for virtually all Wisconsin residents. The demonstration population consists of adults without dependent children, between the ages of 19 and 64 and with incomes that do not exceed 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). The program includes new and innovative features including, 1) centralized eligibility and enrollment functions, 2) requirement for participants to complete a health needs assessment that will be used to match enrollees with health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and providers that meet the individual's specific health care needs, 3) the tiering of health plans based on quality of care indicators, and 4) enhanced online and telephone application tools that will empower childless adults to choose from a variety of health insurance options.
