How to apply for SeniorCare Prescription Drug Assistance — Wisconsin

Wisconsin Department of Health Services

Who it's for

SeniorCare is Wisconsin's prescription drug assistance program for residents 65 and older. Enrollment costs $30 a year. With annual income at or below 160% of the federal poverty level ($25,536 single / $34,624 couple for 2026) there is no deductible — just $5 generic / $15 brand copays; income up to 200% ($31,920 / $43,280) adds a deductible, and higher incomes can still join with a spenddown. SeniorCare works with or instead of Medicare Part D. Call 1-800-657-2038 or apply by mail.

Income above 200% FPL does not disqualify you — a spenddown level exists; DHS makes the final determination.

What you'll need

  • Proof of age (65+)
  • Wisconsin residency
  • Income information
  • $30 annual enrollment fee
