Shortly after BadgerCare Plus began in 2008, I wrote a paper providing a detailed description of the income eligibility criteria, what people are eligible for, and how to calculate the premiums for families of different sizes and incomes. We recently got a couple of requests for an updated version of that report, and this seemed like a good time to make it current – before DHS unveils its proposal for how to change premiums and/or various other aspects of BadgerCare Plus.

A new version of “BadgerCare Plus: Who’s Eligible, for What, and at What Price?” has been completed, and can be found on the WCCF website.   Appendix 1 provides a table comparing the benefits available in the Standard Plan and the Benchmark Plan.  Appendix 2 provides a number of examples of how to apply the tables for determining eligibility and the premiums, and how those hypothetical families might be affected if the state raises cost-sharing for low-income enrollees to 5 percent of family income.
