Wisconsin Well Woman Program

(WWWP) provides preventive health screening services to women with little or no health insurance coverage.

Well Woman pays for mammograms, Pap tests, cervical cancer screenings, multiple sclerosis testing for high risk women, and certain other health screenings.

Covered services are available from participating health care providers at no cost to Well Woman clients.

There is no premium, co-payment, or deductible for the Well Woman Program.

You are eligible if:

Your income is within the program’s guideline limits, and you do not have health insurance, or the insurance you have doesn’t cover routine checkups and screening, or you are unable to pay the deductible or co-payment.

The program is available in all 72 counties and 11 tribes. However, not all covered services are available from every provider.
