Wisconsin Medicaid Hearing Services Handbook

The Division of Health Care Financing (DHCF) is pleased to provide you with a copy of the new Hearing Services Handbook.

The Hearing Services Handbook incorporates all current Medicaid hearing services information into a single reference source. It replaces all prior hearing services publications. It does not replace the All-Provider Handbook and all-provider Wisconsin Medicaid and BadgerCare Updates, the Wisconsin Administrative Code, or Wisconsin Statutes.

Subsequent changes to hearing services policy will be published, first in Updates, and then in Hearing Services Handbook revisions.

All Updates and the Hearing Services Handbook can be downloaded from the Medicaid Web site at dhs.wisconsin.gov/medicaid.

Wisconsin Medicaid will issue revised instructions for completing paper claims and prior authorization (PA) requests, including samples of properly completed forms, effective dates, and information for ordering new forms. These revised instructions will ensure that Wisconsin Medicaid is consistent with the Administrative Simplification provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).

Providers should pay special attention to Updates released in July and August 2003 to keep informed of these important changes. Providers must use the information in these Updates, along with this handbook, to ensure proper claims and PA submission.

Thank you for providing Medicaid hearing services.
