The bill creates the BadgerCare Plus restoration fund. The bill requires DHS to create a program to provide outreach services to individuals who lost eligibility for the Medical Assistance program known as BadgerCare Plus and to provide payment for claims that would have been paid by the BadgerCare Plus program had the individual not lost eligibility for the program. To be eligible for reimbursement from the BadgerCare Plus restoration fund, an individual must make a claim within one year of losing eligibility for BadgerCare Plus. The bill transfers $36,000,000 from the general fund to the BadgerCare Plus restoration fund during the 2013-2014 fiscal year.
