The Family Planning Waiver Program
Wisconsin women seeking contraception are now able to get confidential
family planning health care services and supplies through the Family
Planning Waiver Program. The goal of the program is to help women reduce
unintended pregnancy and obtain family planning health care services.
The program provides family planning services and supplies for women
who are seeking contraception, age 15 through 44 who are at or below 185%
of the federal poverty level. Through the program, eligible women applying
for family planning services may receive services immediately through
Family Planning Waiver presumptive eligibility.
