BadgerCare Plus is a health care coverage program for low-income Wisconsin residents who can’t afford private insurance and are not covered under another ForwardHealth Plan, such as Medicaid for the Elderly, Blind, or Disabled.

  • Visits to health care providers, including physicians and nurse practitioners
  • Inpatient and outpatient hospital services
  • Prescription drug coverage (in certain cases)
  • Lab tests
  • X-rays

To get program benefits, you should go to a health care provider who participates in the program. In some cases, there may be a copay.
