Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services Obsolete Medicaid Eligibility Handbook For the current MEH, see http://www.emhandbooks.wi.gov/meh-ebd/ For the current BC Plus Handbook, see http://www.emhandbooks.wi.gov/bcplus/ |
When a person is determined eligible for a deductible and BC in the same month, s/he must choose between the two. Compare the total monthly BC premiums for the six-month period with the deductible for the six months. Explain the dollar amount differences to the client.
You can backdate a client’s eligibility if s/he chooses a deductible. You cannot backdate BC eligibility.
The choice between BC and a deductible is a monthly decision. Once you confirm a choice in CARES Client Assistance for Re-employment & Economic Support, the choice is locked in for that month and can only change for the recurring month.
Once the deductible is met, a client cannot change the choice to BC for the duration of the deductible.
