Core Plan - Health Care For Adults With No Dependent Children

As of 12:00 P.M. (noon) on October 9, 2009, the BadgerCare Plus Core Plan enrollment process was suspended. We will no longer be enrolling new members in the Core Plan as of this date and time, because the total number of applications we have received is greater than the number of slots available.  A BadgerCare Plus Core Plan waitlist has been created and people on the waitlist will be able to enroll as space becomes available.

For more information about the Waitlist, see the BadgerCare Plus Core Plan Waitlist fact sheet or Waitlist Frequently Asked Questions.

The BadgerCare Plus Core Plan provides access to health care services to long-term uninsured adults.  If your income is at or below 200% of the federal guidelines ($1,805 for a single person and $2,428.33 for a married couple*); are age 19 through 64 who do not have children or do not have dependent children under age 19 living with you, you may be able to enroll in the BadgerCare Plus Core Plan.

For more information, see the BadgerCare Plus Core Plan Enrollment web.

You can find additional information on the BadgerCare Plus Core Plan publication web.  If you have questions, call the Enrollment Services Center at 1-800-291-2002 (voice) or 711 (TTY).

BadgerCare Plus Basic Plan — Health care for those on the Core Plan Waitlist

Wisconsin now has a new program for people who applied for health care through the BadgerCare Plus Core Plan and are on the BadgerCare Plus Core Plan waitlist.

This new program is called BadgerCare Plus Basic.  The Basic plan can provide you with health care coverage until a space opens up for you in the Core Plan. Enrolling in the Basic Plan does not take you off the Core Plan wait list. More information about the Basic Plan can be found at badgercareplus/basic/index.htm.

If you need help to apply, please see our list of Community Access Points

*These amounts are based on the 2009 federal guidelines, which increase by a small percentage each year.
