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)
