To the Honorable, the Legislature:
The Department of Health and Family Services operates BadgerCare under Wis. Stats. s.
49.665. This statute also requires the Department to submit an annual report summarizing the BadgerCare program and its progress. This submission fulfills that legislative requirement.
A423
BadgerCare was established under the terms of the federal State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) which was enacted through the federal budget of 1997. The SCHIP program provided states with the option of creating a new independent program to insure children or expanding the state's existing Medicaid program. Under
1997 Act 27, the Wisconsin Legislature created BadgerCare as an SCHIP Medicaid expansion program. Following recent federal requirements the State added a separate SCHIP program under BadgerCare to cover the unborn children of immigrants.
Attached is a chart showing enrollment and expenditures in BadgerCare by state fiscal year. BadgerCare began enrolling residents in July 1999. BadgerCare leverages significant amounts of federal funding for health care coverage of eligible Wisconsin residents.
