BadgerCare Plus Prenatal Program eligibility ends when the pregnancy ends. Benefits will continue through the end of the month following timely notice requirements.

Non-qualifying immigrants who lose eligibility for the BadgerCare Plus Prenatal Program when their pregnancy ends, for any reason other than moving out of state, are eligible for Emergency Services from the time they lose BadgerCare Plus Prenatal Program eligibility (see Chapter 39.5 Non-Qualifying Immigrants No Longer Eligible for the BadgerCare Plus Prenatal Program).

When the pregnancy ends, CARES will automatically send ForwardHealth an emergency services certification through the end of the month in which the 60th day occurs.
