Beginning in September 2024, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) will require all adult long-term care waiver service providers to enroll with Wisconsin Medicaid through the ForwardHealth Portal.

The new process is for those who provide services listed in the DHS MCO contract or the IRIS Service Definition Manual to adults who are older, have a physical disability, or have an intellectual or developmental disability.

The purpose of this new enrollment portal is for DHS to hae an accessible space for all Medicaid information to be stored for easier management. If you are an existing provider, with a ForwardHealth portal, you will only need to check a box adding your facility to the Family Care program within the portal.

DHS will be providing trainings and other resources for providers on how to set up their new portal and make sure they are fully enrolled. They have also launched an information page that is detailed below.

Visit the new webpage on the ForwardHealth Portal.
