MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — Wisconsin BadgerCare Plus members now qualify for a daily over-the-counter oral contraception medication at no out-of-pocket cost.
Governor Tony Evers had signaled the move in his State of the State address and this week confirmed that.
BadgerCare Plus members, who are low-income residents who don’t qualify for Medicaid, can pick up Opill at no cost and without the need to schedule an appointment to get a prescription.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Opill last summer for use without a prescription.
To obtain it, BadgerCare Plus members will have to go to a Medicaid-enrolled pharmacy.
