Health Survey 

As part of applying for the BadgerCare Plus Core Plan, you will need to take a short survey about your health. You will be able to take the survey online at access.wi.gov or by calling the Enrollment Services Center at 1-800-291-2002 (voice) or 11 (TTY).

In the survey, you will be asked about some of the health conditions that are common among people ages 19 through 64. You will also be asked if you have a regular doctor, clinic or hospital.

The survey will be used to:

  • Help you choose a Health Maintenance Organization or HMO that best meets your health needs.

  • Let you know which HMOs your doctor, clinic or hospital may belong to, if you already have a regular doctor, clinic or hospital. 

  • Let your HMO know about your health needs.

Beginning Fall of 2009, you will be required to enroll in an HMO. 

When you take the survey, keep in mind:

  • You will not be denied health care because of a pre-existing condition.

  • Your answers to the health survey will not affect your enrollment in the BadgerCare Plus Core Plan. However, if you don’t take the survey, you will not be able to enroll in the Core Plan. 

  • Your answers to the health survey will not be used to limit your health care coverage or HMO choices.

  • Your answers will be kept private and secure, and will only be shared with your HMO and your health care providers.

*An HMO is a group of doctors, clinics and hospitals that work together to help you manage your health care. Some HMOs are able to provide all of your health care in one location.
