5.17.6 APPLICATION

5.17.6.1 Applications for Wisconsin Well Woman Medicaid by Family Planning Waiver participants

 

To apply for Wisconsin Well Woman Medicaid, through the Wisconsin Well Woman Program, the client must send or bring the completed DPH 4818 and HCF 10075 forms to her local IM agency.  The client may apply for Wisconsin Well Woman Medicaid at any time after the client’s WWWP screening diagnosis.  IM may only back-date the client’s eligibility to the first of the month up to three months prior to the application date, or the first of the day after the date of diagnosis occurs, whichever is later.

 

Use the two forms listed in 5.17.5 in place of the standard application forms.  Do not enter the woman's information into CARES Client Assistance for Re-employment & Economic Support for purposes of Wisconsin Well Woman MA eligibility, as the program requires manual determination.
 

The date of receipt of the HCF 10075 is the filing date.  Use the verification policy listed in chapter 1.2 for any items requiring verification.

 

Complete the following steps to certify a client for Wisconsin Well Woman Medicaid:
 

  1. Review DPH 4818 for a “No” answer to the following questions:
     

    1. Does the client have any health insurance? (Item #32)

 

If the client answers “Yes,” determine if the insurance is one of those listed in 5.17.2.1.  If “Yes,” the woman is ineligible for Wisconsin Well Woman Medicaid.  Refer her to the WWWP, and send a manual negative notice.

 

    1. Does the client have Medicare Part B? (Item #33)

 

and

 

Ask the client if she has Medicare Part A.

 

If the client answers “Yes” to either of the other questions, the client is ineligible for Wisconsin Well Woman Medicaid.

 

  1. Review DPH 4818 to ensure that the following fields have been completed: 1-5, 9-13, 16-25, 27-45.
     

If the form is incomplete, request that the client provide any missing information.  If the client does not provide all necessary information, there may be a delay in benefits.
 

  1. Review HCF 10075 for a SSN.  If the SSN is missing from HCF 10075 and is not present on DPH 4818 (#6a), ask the client to provide her SSN and enter it on HCF 10075.  Providing an SSN for the WWWP is voluntary, but providing a SSN, or applying for one, is required for Wisconsin Well Woman Medicaid.

 

If the client fails to provide a SSN, or fails to apply for a SSN (IMM, Ch. I, Part C, 8.4.3.1) within the 30-day application processing time or within ten days (whichever is later), send a manual negative notice to the client indicating that the she is not eligible for Wisconsin Well Woman Medicaid.

 

  1. Ask the client if she is a citizen.

 

If the client is not a citizen, ask her what her alien status is and to provide her alien registration card.  Verify that the client is in a qualified alien status using the SAVE system (IMM, Ch. I, Part D, 4.0.0).

 

Note: Some clients with breast and cervical cancer who do not meet the immigration-related eligibility criteria may be eligible to receive emergency services.  If a non-qualifying alien has been screened for WWWP, determine her eligibility for emergency services using the criteria in 3.2.3.

 

  1. If there are any questionable items, contact the WWWP Local Coordinating Agency.

 

  1. Submit a HCF 10110 (formerly DES 3070) with a medical status code of “CB” to certify any client who has met the criteria listed above.  Submit the completed HCF 10110 to EDS through one of the following methods:

 

    1. Mail:

      EDS Attn:  Eligibility Lead Worker WWWMA

6406 Bridge Rd

Madison, WI  53716

 

    1. E-mail:  

 

When submitting an e-HCF 10110 (formerly DES 3070), enter “

Attn:  Eligibility Lead Worker WWWMA” in the “Comments” section.

 

 

  1. Certify the client for 12 months from the filing date and backdate to whichever is more recent:

 

    1. Up to three months prior to the filing date, or
       

    2. To the date of the diagnosis ( HCF 10075 ),

 

 

Example:  Giana applies for WWWMA at the IM agency on September 20, 2006. The HCF 10075 indicates that she is enrolled in WWWP, and she provides a copy of the DPH 4818 documenting her enrollment in the WWWP.  Her date of diagnosis on the HCF10075 is August 6, 2006. The WWWMA Presumptive Eligibility dates on the HCF10075 are from August 6 through September 30. Giana meets the following non financial requirements: citizenship/ID documentation, provides a valid SSN, and has no MA or private insurance that will cover her cancer treatment.  

 

Certify Giana using an HCF10110 effective August 6, 2006 through July 31, 2007 with a CB med stat code.  IM sends Giana a notice by July 17 indicating her review is due by the end of August, 2007.

 

If the client applies during her PE Wisconsin Well Woman Medicaid period, and you are not able to process her application within the 30-day processing time frame, extend her eligibility for an additional 30 days from the last day of her Wisconsin Well Woman Medicaid PE ( HCF 10075 “Comments” section) with a medical status of “CB.”

 

To contact the Local Coordinating Agencies refer to #27 of DPH 4818.
