Sauk County Community Care Program

Last updated: 2/12/2024

The Sauk County Community Care Program, nicknamed "the Voucher Program," provides acute health care services for individuals without health or dental insurance.

The program was developed through the cooperation of local health care providers and is designed to meet the health care needs of Sauk County residents who are uninsured and are income eligible at below 200% poverty level. The program is unable to provide services for ongoing chronic health conditions, inpatient hospitalizations, medical specialists, surgery, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, or continual prescription help.

Services Provided:

1. Medical Voucher: for acute care needs such as upper respiratory infections, sexually transmitted infections and acute pain or injury issues. No vouchers for chronic care management.
    
2. Dental Voucher: for acute dental needs. The extent of the service provided is determined by the individual dentist providing care.
    
3. Vision/Glasses Voucher: for those without vision coverage who need an eye exam and/or glasses.
    
4. Prescription Voucher: for birth control or for a one-time 30-day supply of generic or low-cost medication. Narcotics and controlled substances are not covered.

How Do I Get a Voucher?
