Claims Information

Claims Submission

Submission Options

Providers may submit claims to Wisconsin Medicaid electronically or on paper. Providers are encouraged to submit claims electronically. Electronic claims submission:

• Adapts to existing systems.
• Allows flexible submission methods.
• Improves cash flow.
• Offers efficient and timely payments.
• Reduces billing and processing errors.
• Reduces clerical effort.

Providers are required to submit a paper claim, not an electronic claim, when submitting a claim that requires additional documentation.
