Have questions? Your health is important to us. We are here to answer your questions and help you and your family stay covered.
What you need to know
During the Public Health Emergency (PHE), nearly all Medicaid members had their coverage extended without having to renew their benefits, regardless of changes in eligibility or status. Legislation signed on December 29, 2022, allows states to begin removing ineligible members from their Medicaid programs starting April 1, 2023.
If you no longer qualify for Medicaid coverage through the renewal process you may lose coverage.
When Medicaid renewals begin, you will need to take action by the deadline to keep your benefits. If you no longer qualify for Medicaid, we have other options for you and your family.
Here are some frequently asked questions that may help:

Medicaid renewal is a yearly review completed by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) to check if you are still eligible for your insurance coverage. It’s important to renew your BadgerCare Plus insurance every 12 months, or you may lose your health care benefits.
If you’ve had a change in income, age, or other qualifying factors since you enrolled in Medicaid, it’s possible you will no longer qualify. The only way to know for sure is to renew on time.
