SeniorCare: Prescription Drug Assistance Program
SeniorCare is a program for Wisconsin residents who are 65 or older. The program helps seniors pay for prescription drugs and vaccines.
To enroll in SeniorCare, you must be:
- A Wisconsin resident.
- A U.S. citizen or qualifying immigrant.
- 65 years or older.
You also can’t be a member of a full-benefit Medicaid program, like BadgerCare Plus. The program’s enrollment fee is $30 a year.
The earliest you can apply for SeniorCare is the month you turn 65. Once you’re 65, you can apply at any time. Your coverage begins the month after you apply.
Your annual income determines how much of your prescription drug costs SeniorCare will cover. See the SeniorCare annual income limits page to find your coverage level.
