Supportive Home Care Agencies With an Electronic Visit Verification-Only Provider Medicaid ID Need to Update Enrollment
Supportive home care agencies who have an electronic visit verification (EVV)-only provider Medicaid ID will have to update their enrollment with Wisconsin Medicaid this summer.
All adult long-term care (LTC) waiver services providers are required to be fully enrolled in Wisconsin Medicaid. This includes supportive home care agencies that provide services under service codes S5125, S5126, T1019, and T1020. Later this summer, ForwardHealth will publish an Adult Long-Term Care Update and send you a notice to let you know that you can update your enrollment.
When your agency was first enrolled in Wisconsin Medicaid for EVV, ForwardHealth collected basic information about your organization. You’ll need to log in to the ForwardHealth Portal (the Portal) to provide additional information when you receive this notice. This additional information will let us fully enroll you as Medicaid provider.
ForwardHealth is using the term “revalidation” for this process to convert your EVV-only enrollment to full Medicaid enrollment. You will keep the same provider ID after revalidation.
Revalidation will be available starting in late summer 2025. Once you revalidate, you will be a fully certified Medicaid provider and will meet all state and federal requirements to deliver adult LTC waiver services.
The deadline to update your file to full enrollment is January 1, 2026. You can use the Portal to complete your revalidation or check your status.
