BadgerCare Plus Premiums: Effective July 1, 2012

As of July 1, 2012 certain adults will have to start paying monthly premiums or pay higher premiums. The amount will be based on your family’s size and income.  Premiums will not change for members age 18 and under.

You will not pay a premium if you are:

• A pregnant woman
• A person with a disability (must be determined disabled by the Disability Determination Bureau or the Social Security Administration)
• An American Indian or child of an American Indian
• Age 18 through 21 years of age and were in foster care on your 18th birthday

If you are required to pay a monthly premium and you do not pay your premium, your benefits may end. Adults will not be able to receive health care benefits through BadgerCare Plus for 12 months and children for 6 months.

The charts below show the premium you may be required to pay, depending on your family size and income. The cost of your premium will be based on the income we currently have on file for you and your family. The premium will cover all adults in your family. The higher your income, the more your monthly premium will cost. If you will have a premium or your premium changes, you will get a letter telling you the amount. The income in this chart is based on gross income.
