Care4Kids Program: Information for Child Welfare Professionals
Care4Kids is expanding
More Wisconsin children and youth can now join Care4Kids, including:
- Children of Care4Kids members
- Youth up to age 26 who were in out-of-home care when they turned 18
Care4Kids members in out-of-home care can also live in more places and stay covered. They can move to any county and stay enrolled, as long as Chorus Community Health Plan offers services in the area.
Plus, Care4Kids now offers care coordination to youth in institutional or residential care up to 90 days before joining.
Care4Kids is a health plan for children in out-of-home care that creates a medical home team for its members. A team of invested individuals (parents, caregivers, health care coordinators, child welfare professionals, doctors, etc.) work together to develop a care plan.
