Services and Requirements

HealthCheck "Other Services"

HealthCheck services consist of a comprehensive health screening of Medicaid recipients under 21 years of age. On occasion, a HealthCheck screening may identify the need for health care services that are not otherwise covered or that exceed Medicaid limitations. These services are called HealthCheck “Other Services.” Federal law requires that these services be reimbursed by Wisconsin Medicaid through HealthCheck “Other Services” if they are medically necessary and prior authorized. The purpose of HealthCheck “Other Services” is to assure that medically necessary services are available to recipients under 21 years of age.

Refer to the Covered and Noncovered Services section of the All-Provider Handbook for more information about HealthCheck “Other Services” including, but not limited to, requirements that must be met for a service to be reimbursed through HealthCheck “Other Services.”
