Enrollment in an HMO

One of the many benefits of the BadgerCare Plus program is the opportunity to enroll into a Wisconsin BadgerCare Plus Health Maintenance Organization (HMO). Families with children who receive their health care through the Wisconsin BadgerCare Plus program are enrolled in an HMO.

Most families must enroll in an HMO. Where there are two or more HMOs available to you and your family, you will have a choice of which HMO to enroll in.

The letter in this packet tells you if you must choose an HMO. If you are not sure if you must choose an HMO, call the Enrollment Specialist at 1-800-291-2002.

Benefits of an HMO

A primary care provider or primary care clinic of your choice will help you manage your family’s health care needs.

HMOs provide health care 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Some HMOs provide all your health care in one location.
