BadgerCare Plus
You’re the Medicaid expert Wisconsin needs
Nobody knows Medicaid better than those who use it every day. That’s why we are forming a new group of people with current or past experience with Medicaid, and we want you to join! The Medicaid Member Experience Council (MMEC) will talk about how Medicaid is working, and how it can be improved. You can help build a better future for health care in Wisconsin by joining in and speaking up.
BadgerCare Plus is a health care program. It helps low-income children, pregnant people, and adults in Wisconsin.

Be aware of scams
Scam artists get your information to steal your identity. They may charge your credit cards or open new cards. They may use your bank account. Scam artists can write bad checks or take out loans in your name.
If you get health care benefits, be careful about sharing personal information. Make sure you only answer health questions from trusted contacts. Know that for programs like FoodShare, your agency will call you for an interview. They may ask you to answer questions, so they know they’re talking to the right person. If you’re not sure who you’re talking to, hang up the phone. Contact your agency or ForwardHealth Member Services at 800-362-3002.
After you apply for ForwardHealth programs, you should only use ACCESS (ACCESS in Spanish) and MyACCESS mobile app to manage your benefits. If you get FoodShare benefits, you can also view your account details on the ebtEDGE mobile app.
