BadgerCare Plus: Forms, Guides, and Publications
Opt-in to get helpful text and email messages
Between June 22 and July 13, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) sent Medicaid and FoodShare members text and email messages asking them to confirm they still wanted to get texts and emails.
If you did not respond, you have been opted out of most DHS texts and emails. If you respond to an old text, you will receive the message “the keyword you specified was not recognized.” You can still opt-in to get texts and emails by logging in to ACCESS (ACCESS in Spanish) and selecting Update Contact Info.
This page is for our partner organizations—those who help BadgerCare Plus members. There are a lot of helpful materials about the program. We’ve added them here in one place. You can find:
- Forms—Files for members to fill out.
- Guides—Files that explain how BadgerCare Plus works.
- Publications—Files you can use to share details about BadgerCare Plus.
You can download most files in more than one language for members as needed. You also can print your own copies or order print copies. When you click the link, look at the Other Location column. Unless it says, “None,” you can order print copies.
