For Wingra Patients:- Need to check
About:

If they have a high deductible, they may be able to qualify for the discount program at Wingra. This would allow for percent decrease on their medication copays (percent depends on income).
-
In order to qualify, they have to be a patient at Wingra and meet income requirements. If their income is too high, they may not qualify.
-
In order to look into getting into the discount program, they can call the appointment line and make an appointment with a CRS. They can also call a CRS directly first to see if they are income eligible before coming in. Leslie's direct work number is 608-287-5819.

CRSs also suggest moving prescriptions to Wal-Mart (tends to have cheaper copays compared to other places)
