The secure ForwardHealth Portal offers real-time member enrollment
verification for all ForwardHealth programs. Providers will be able to use this
tool to determine:
- The benefit plan(s) in which the member is enrolled
- If the member is enrolled in a state-contracted managed care program (for
Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus members)
- If the member has any other coverage, such as Medicare or commercial
health insurance
- If the member is exempted from copays (BadgerCare Plus and Medicaid members only)
To access enrollment verification via the ForwardHealth Portal, providers
will need to do the following:
- Go to the ForwardHealth Portal.
- Establish a provider account.
- Log into the secure Portal.
- Click on the menu item for enrollment verification.
Providers will receive a unique transaction number for each enrollment
verification inquiry. Providers may access a history of their enrollment
inquiries using the Portal, which will list the date the inquiry was made and
the enrollment information that was given on the date that the inquiry was made.
For a more permanent record of inquiries, providers are advised to use the
"print screen" function to save a paper copy of enrollment verification
inquiries for their records or document the transaction number at the beginning
of the response, for tracking or research purposes. This feature
allows providers to access enrollment verification history when researching
claim denials due to enrollment issues.
The Provider Portal is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. |
