Individuals who are enrolled in Medicare (Part A and/or B) and are eligible for BadgerCare Plus under a Title 19 (Medicaid) funded Med Stat Code are referred to as Dual Eligible individuals. Since January 1, 2006, Medicaid does not provide prescription drug coverage for these individuals. Instead these individuals receive prescription drug coverage through Medicare Part D.
These Dual Eligible individuals are deemed eligible for "Extra Help” from CMS to help pay for their Medicare Part D drug costs.
A Medicare Part D Preferred Drug Plan (PDP) card will be issued to them, and it must be used for prescription drugs instead of their Forward Card.
For more information on Medicare Part D, see the Medicare Drug Coverage (Part D) webpage.
