Pharmaceutical Assistance
WIAAA staff and Community Focal Point (Senior Center) Staff are specially trained to help answer questions about your drug coverage, assist you in applying for benefits, or advocate for you should you encounter problems with your prescription coverage. We can help you find coverage that best meets your individual needs. Contact our office to speak with a specialist who will provide you with one-on-one assistance. WIAAA provides this assistance free of charge, although donations are gratefully appreciated.
Some pharmaceutical assistance programs are listed below along with internet links that describe their program and/or allow you to apply or download an application. Because some of these plans work together, we encourage you to call our office or the Community Focal Point (senior center) near you for assistance should you need help.
