Finding Health Coverage

No one should go without healthcare because they are not able to pay. WMCHC’s goal is to make sure everyone gets the best health care. That’s why we offer the Sliding Fee Discount Program (SFDP) to help you afford the cost of your care at our offices. This can also include a Prescription Discount Drug Card (PDDC) to help you afford the medicines that keep you healthy and/or the Family Planning Discount at our Women’s Health Offices.

The PDDC is a program that helps eligible WMCHC patients get discounts on prescription medications to stay healthy. To be eligible, WMCHC patients have to meet the income guidelines AND explore all resources for medication discounts with our Outreach and Enrollment Coordinators. The medication prescription has to be written by a WMCHC provider.

These programs are based on your household income and are available to all patients of Wayne Memorial Community Health Centers.

Your family size includes you, your spouse and anyone else listed on your tax return.
