Newborn Enrollment. If the mother is enrolled in a BadgerCare Plus HMO at the time of birth, and the child is reported to the certifying agency within 100 days of birth, the newborn will be enrolled in the same HMO as the mother back to the infant’s date of birth. If the mother is not enrolled in a BadgerCare Plus HMO on the date of birth, or the child is not reported to the certifying agency within 100 days, then the newborn will be enrolled following the normal ADD methodology for HMO enrollment if applicable. The newborn will be enrolled the next available enrollment month. Infants weighing less than 1200 grams will be exempt from enrollment if the data submitted to the fiscal agent by the HMO or the provider supports the infant’s low birth weight. If an infant weighs less than 1200 grams, the HMO or provider should check the box on the BadgerCare Plus Newborn Report.
