Keeping kids covered
Did you know? More than 300,000+ kids under age 19 are members of BadgerCare Plus or another Wisconsin Medicaid program.
Most children can keep their benefits for at least 12 months once enrolled. Even if the family circumstances change, they stay covered. Read our 12-Months Continuous Coverage for Children fact sheet, P-03555, to learn how Wisconsin supports healthy kids.
