Summary
Wisconsin Medicaid and BadgerCare is changing the format and name of their provider updates to 'BadgerCare Plus Updates' effective immediately, coinciding with the launch of BadgerCare Plus program in February 2008. This is purely a cosmetic and administrative change to how policy information is communicated to providers.
Action Required
Immediately: Wisconsin providers should begin looking for policy updates under the new 'BadgerCare Plus Updates' name instead of 'Wisconsin Medicaid and BadgerCare Updates'. Update bookmarks and references to the new format. Continue checking updates regularly as they remain the primary source for policy changes.
