Don’t Lose Health Coverage for Yourself or Your Family

If you or your family have Medicaid (also called state insurance, BadgerCare Plus, or Forward-Health), you get free or low-income health coverage for things like doctor visits, medicines, vision, dental, and hospital stays. You must renew your coverage with the State each year.

If you do not renew each year, you may have to pay full price for these health benefits!

How to renew:

When it’s time for you to renew, the State will send you a packet in the mail. The packet will give you the deadline to renew. You can also find your deadline online at access.wi.gov. 

Once you receive your packet in the mail, you can do one of these three things to renew:

Online:  Go to access.wi.gov with a smartphone or computer. This is the fastest way to renew. Create or log into your account. Complete the steps to renew your benefits.

By mail:  Complete and return the renewal packet sent to you by the State.

In person or by phone:  Visit or call your local Income Maintenance Agency. Go to dhs.wi.gov/forwardhealth/imagency/index.html to find an agency near you.

Once you send your information, you do not have to worry about how long the review process takes. The State will review your information and contact you as soon as possible. 

Not sure if you're eligible? Even if you don’t think you'll qualify, you should still try to renew. Call (877) 373-8966 (TTY: 711), Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. to learn about all the options for you and your family.

Don't take the chance of losing your health coverage.
