Wisconsin won’t miss out on Medicaid payments approved in one of the recent federal coronavirus relief bills — for now.

But U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Madison, warned last week that recent changes in state law will make the state ineligible for future rounds of funding and the Wisconsin Legislature must act in order to get additional funds going forward.

Wisconsin was initially slated to miss out on a 6.2% increase in Medicaid funding because the state was not compliant with conditions laid out in the second of three recent coronavirus-related relief packages passed by Congress. The bill dictates, among other things, that premiums for Medicaid members were not increased after Jan. 1 and there are no cost-sharing requirements for COVID-19 testing and treatment.

On Feb. 1, Wisconsin made a series of changes to BadgerCare Plus for childless adults, including adding monthly premium payments and copays for emergency room visits. These policy changes violate the legislation’s conditions.

The 6.2% bump could save $150 million in state spending per quarter, according to the Legislative Fiscal Bureau.
