Prescription Drug Coverage
The Partnership program provides prescription drugs and certain over-the-counter medications for all members. Your care team works with you and your physician to be sure you are taking the right medications to meet your needs. Your team reviews your medications periodically and ensures that medications can be taken together safely.
If you have Medicare, your prescription drug coverage is through Medicare Part D.
If you have Medicaid only, your prescription drug coverage is through Wisconsin Medicaid. Contact Wisconsin Medicaid Member Services at 1-800-362-3002 for more information.
If you are not sure if you have Medicare and/or Medicaid, please ask your care team for help.
