The volume of backlogged claims held by CHC and the amount of time it will take CHC to send them is unknown. Once claims are acquired from CHC, ForwardHealth will process them in the order received.

Help educate your staff with this new video about HealthCheck, which is an important Wisconsin Medicaid benefit that covers most diagnostic and intervention services that a child or young adult through age 20 may need. It provides regular screenings and follow-up services to help prevent illnesses and find and treat health issues early.

Learn how you and your staff can help people get the treatment, services, and medical products they need. The video (2 min., 20 sec.) covers:

  • What the HealthCheck benefit covers.
  • How to access services not usually covered by Wisconsin Medicaid.
  • The streamlined prior authorization process.

Anyone under 21 who has Wisconsin Medicaid, BadgerCare Plus, or a ForwardHealth card is automatically covered. This benefit is also called Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) in federal Medicaid. Thank you for helping to spread the word about HealthCheck!

More information is available on the Resources for HealthCheck Providers page of the ForwardHealth Portal and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services HealthCheck webpage.
