Beginning in September 2024, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) will require all adult long-term care waiver service providers to enroll with Wisconsin Medicaid through the ForwardHealth Portal.

The new process is for those who provide services listed in the DHS MCO contract or the IRIS Service Definition Manual to adults who are older, have a physical disability, or have an intellectual or developmental disability.

DHS introduced this video last week to introduce providers to the basics of the project and help them understand how the project will affect providers.

Additionally, more information is available in a questions and answers document, as well as ForwardHealth’s regularly updated information page.
