These members are eligible for BadgerCare Plus Emergency Services coverage through the end of the month in which the 60th day occurs, following the member's due date or the pregnancy end date, if that is known. Example 1 Sofia is a pregnant non-qualifying immigrant who is enrolled in the BadgerCare Plus Prenatal Program. Her expected due date is July 10. On April 5, the agency finds out that she now has access to health insurance through her employer, and the employer will pay over 80% of the premium cost.
