Wisconsin Family Planning
Reproductive Health Program
Program Description
The Wisconsin Family Planning Reproductive Health Program works to
provide safe and effective contraceptive (birth control) services to
enable women and couples to achieve their family planning goals.
Key goals of the family planning program are to reduce the number of
unintended pregnancies; provide statewide access to quality and affordable
contraception (birth control); and to promote early identification of
pregnancy and timely access to appropriate care.
Preventive and educational health services include reproductive health
screening and assessment, contraception (birth control), emergency
contraception (EC), preconception health, pregnancy testing, sexually
transmitted disease testing and treatment, breast and cervical cancer
screening, and short-term care coordination services.

The Family Planning Waiver Program
Wisconsin women seeking contraception are now able to get confidential
family planning health care services and supplies through the Wisconsin
Family Planning Waiver Program. The goal of the program is to help
low-income women avoid unintended pregnancy and obtain family planning
health care services at no charge. The program serves women aged 15
through 44 who are at or below 185% of the federal poverty level. Women
can enroll in this program at any local
family planning clinic (exit
DHFS) and immediately begin to receive services. More
information on where and how to enroll in the program is available at:
