The Out-of-State Youth (OSY) program is responsible for health care services provided to Wisconsin children placed outside the state in foster and subsidized adoption situations. These children are eligible for coverage. The objective is to ensure that these children receive quality medical care.

ForwardHealth requires all OSY providers who render services to BadgerCare Plus, Medicaid, or SeniorCare members to be enrolled in Wisconsin Medicaid. Providers may apply for Medicaid enrollment as an OSY provider by completing both of the following steps:

• Apply for enrollment as an out-of-state provider. To apply for enrollment as an out-of-state provider, complete the Medicaid Out-of-State Provider Enrollment Application.
  
  For information on the requirements for out-of-state providers, refer to Out-of-State Providers page.
• At the end of the enrollment application, upload a letter requesting enrollment as an OSY provider.
