She worked with the client to submit paystubs showing his annual earnings and was able to get backdated BadgerCare coverage using gap filler rules. The client now has coverage for more than $100,000 in medical bills!

Kenton Zink, EBS in Dane County, recently met with a farmer who had lost QMB eligibility and had fallen behind on Medicare premiums. He had also received confusing letters telling him that he had lost BadgerCare coverage even though he continued to be eligible under Public Health Emergency rules. Amidst all the concern and confusion over his health insurance coverage, the client had been delaying reconstructive oral surgery to help repair damage from cancer treatments. Kenton worked with the Medicaid Buy-In Analyst to reestablish premium payments through the Medicare Savings Programs, helped reassure the client that his BadgerCare coverage remained in place so he could proceed with reconstructive care, and helped the client get approved for MAPP so that he will have reliable secondary coverage when his BadgerCare eligibility ends.
