Wisconsin Well Woman Program
The Wisconsin Well Woman Program (WWWP) provides preventive health screening services to women with little or no health insurance coverage. WWWP pays for mammograms and Pap tests. The program is administered by the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services, Division of Public Health.
To qualify for the WWWP you must meet the three requirements below:
- You must be a woman age 45 through 64
- Your income is within the program's guideline limits (see PDF link below)
- You do not have health insurance, or the insurance you have doesn't cover routine check-ups and screening, or you are unable to pay the deductible or co-payment
Covered services are available from participating health care providers at no cost to WWWP clients. There is no premium, co-payment or deductible for the Well Woman's Program. Not all covered services are available from every provider.
