DOA:......Blaine, BB0010 - Prenatal care under BadgerCare for pregnant immigrant women
For 2005-07 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2005 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: the budget.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Health and human services
Medical Assistance
Under current law, the Badger Care health care program (BadgerCare) provides partially or wholly subsidized health care coverage to eligible families and children. A family, or a child who does not reside with his or her parent, may be eligible for health care coverage under BadgerCare if the child's or family's income does not exceed 185 percent of the federal poverty line and the child or family meets certain nonfinancial criteria, such as not having access to employer-subsidized health care coverage. Current law defines "child" as a person under the age of 19 years and defines "family" as a unit that consists of at least one child and his or her parent or parents, all of whom reside in the same household.
This bill expands BadgerCare to provide health care coverage to an unborn child whose mother is not eligible for BadgerCare or eligible for Medical Assistance, except for certain emergency services. The income of the unborn child's mother, mother and her spouse, or mother and her family, whichever is applicable, must meet the current law income requirements. The unborn child and the unborn child's mother must meet the current law nonfinancial eligibility requirements, except that the unborn child is not required to have a social security number and one or more of the following may apply to the unborn child's mother: 1) she is not a U.S. citizen or a qualifying alien; 2) she is an inmate of a public institution; or 3) she does not provide a social security number, but only if she is not a U.S. citizen or qualifying alien. An "unborn child" is defined as a person from conception to live birth. The effect of the change is to provide prenatal care to low-income pregnant women who are not otherwise eligible for BadgerCare or Medical Assistance.
