Health care coverage under the Medicaid Purchase Plan is identical to the comprehensive package of services provided by Medical Assistance. Persons enrolled in the Medicaid Purchase Plan would also be eligible for Wisconsin's home- and community-based waivers under s. 46.27, Stats., provided they meet the functional criteria for these waivers.
The rules created and amended by this order modify the current Medical Assistance rules to accommodate the Medicaid Purchase Plan and in the process:
• Provide more specificity than s. 49.472, Stats., as created by Act 9, regarding the non-financial and financial conditions of eligibility for persons under the Medicaid Purchase Plan;
• Define whose income is used when determining eligibility and the monthly premium amount;
• Explain statutory conditions for continuing eligibility;
• Explain how the monthly premium amount is calculated;
• Describe the processes associated with the independence account; and
• Set forth how the Department, in addition to providing Medical Assistance coverage, is to purchase group health coverage offered by the employer of an eligible person or an ineligible family member of an eligible member for the Medicaid Purchase Plan, if the Department determines that purchasing that coverage would not cost more than providing Medical Assistance coverage.
