What prescription medications are covered by Wisconsin Medicaid?

Wisconsin Medicaid provides coverage for a wide range of prescription medications. The specific medications covered will depend on various factors, such as the recipient's medical conditions and treatment needs. The Wisconsin Medicaid formulary includes common medications for chronic illnesses like hypertension, diabetes, and asthma. It also covers drugs for acute conditions such as infections and pain relief. Some medications require prior authorization to ensure appropriate use and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, the formulary may include generic equivalents, preferred brands, or specific drug alternatives. Medication coverage extends to both inpatient and outpatient settings, including pharmacies, clinics, and hospitals. However, coverage may vary depending on the Medicaid plan chosen. If recipients have any questions about specific medications, they can consult the Wisconsin Medicaid formulary or contact their healthcare provider or Medicaid representative for further assistance.
