Because EMCAPO workers do not determine eligibility for other forms of full-benefit health care, the redetermination must be completed by the IM agency. Depending on the circumstances of the case, additional information may be needed for the agency to determine if the member qualifies for another form of Medicaid or BadgerCare Plus. When a WWWMA member experiences a change in circumstances and no longer meets program requirements, they will be sent a notice that they no longer qualify for WWWMA, and additional information is required to determine if they qualify for a different form of Medicaid. • For members losing WWWMA due to turning 65, the notice will be sent to the member on the Saturday after adverse action of the month before they turn 65. • For members losing WWWMA for another reason (such as no longer meeting medical criteria), the notice will be sent when the reported change in circumstances is processed by EM CAPO. The notice explains how to apply for health care with the IM agency and informs the member that, if their application is received by the due date (30 days from the date the notice was sent), they will keep their current coverage until the application is processed. WWWMA coverage will be maintained for at least 30 days from the date the letter is sent to give the member time to apply. If the IM agency receives an application by the due date, WWWMA coverage will continue until the IM agency finishes processing the application. If the IM agency does not receive an application by the due date, WWWMA coverage will end with timely notice. Applications received after the due date will be processed in accordance with normal application policies. Example 1 Samira is enrolled in WWWMA. She will be turning 65 on April 22. On March 22, she is sent a notice informing her that she will no longer be eligible for WWWMA after she turns 65, but if she applies for health care and the application is received by April 21, her current WWWMA coverage will continue until the application is processed. Samira’s application is received on April 20. The IM worker processes the application and determines Samira is eligible for SLMB+. Her WWWMA ends on June 1, in accordance with timely notice requirements.

To renew WWWMA, the member must submit an updated Wisconsin Well Woman Medicaid Application and Renewal (F-10075) or the Well Woman Renewal Form (WWRF) that is sent to them approximately 45 days before their renewal date. Enrollment in WWWP, FPOS, or BadgerCare Plus is not a requirement when completing a WWWMA renewal. WWWMA renewals received within three months of the renewal month can be processed as a late renewal instead of requiring a new application. If a member has a gap in coverage because of a late renewal, they may request coverage of the past months in which the gap occurred. See SECTION 3.1.2 LATE RENEWALS for more information. Example 1 Jenny’s renewal is due on January 31. She faxes her WWWMA renewal to EM CAPO on March 10. EM CAPO processes the renewal on the same day, and verification is requested. The verification is due on March 30. Jenny submits the verification March 30, and EM CAPO determines she meets the WWWMA eligibility criteria. Her new WWWMA certification period begins on March 1. Her next renewal date is February 28 of the following year.
