22-02 Version of 19.4 Premium Payment Methods

Initial premium payments must be paid by check or money order and are collected by the IM agency.

For ongoing premium payments, premium statements will be sent monthly. The statement will provide the amount due and how to pay the premium.

Members have several options to pay their ongoing monthly premiums, including:

Check
Money order
Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)
Wage withholding
Credit or debit card

Members can make one-time payments using a credit or debit card, or EFT from a checking or savings account, through the ACCESS website.

For recurring EFT payments, members must submit a complete BadgerCare Plus Premium Member/Employer Electronic Funds Transfer form (F-13026). To have premiums taken out of a paycheck, the BadgerCare Plus Premium Employer Wage Withholding form (F-13025) must be submitted by an employer. Members must submit payments through one of the other methods until they get confirmation that their recurring EFT or wage withholding request has been processed.
