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/ |
Dependents who are covered by an absent parent’s HMO and reside in the HMO’s service area must receive covered medical care from that HMO.
Consider an HMO as unavailable if the dependent does not live in the area of the HMO or if they are unable to travel to it for their medical care. Consider them as uninsured until the Child Support Agency ( CSA ) can have them changed to a non-HMO plan. Complete the Health Insurance Information form ( HCF 10115 ) and give it to the CSA. Write on it in red “NOT ENTERED IN CARES Client Assistance for Re-employment & Economic Support – DISTANT HMO.”
For the purpose of determining BC eligibility, consider this access to insurance.
Refer the absent parents of all clients, whether or not paternity has been established, to the CSA.
If the custodial parent is able to provide all the necessary health insurance information, enter that information into CARES. If s/he can only provide partial or no information, the CSA will contact the absent parent and obtain the needed information.
