Summary

For BadgerCare Plus Core Plan members, copayment limits and service limitations reset when members transition between HMO enrollment and fee-for-service or switch between HMOs. This means previously used copayments and service limits (like the 20-visit therapy limit) start over with each enrollment change.

Action Required

Action needed
Immediately: Billing team must verify BadgerCare Plus Core Plan member enrollment status before each service to determine current HMO vs fee-for-service status. Call Provider Services to check remaining service limitations for each member, as limits may have reset due to enrollment changes. Update workflows to track enrollment transitions that reset copayment and service limits.
