Wyoming Medicaid
Wyoming Medicaid is a health coverage program that provides medical benefits to eligible low-income residents, including children, pregnant women, older adults, and individuals with disabilities.
Covered services include doctor visits, inpatient and outpatient hospital care, laboratory tests, x-rays, and prescription drugs. It also offers “waiver” programs for long-term care in home or community settings.
Presumptive Eligibility (PE) is also available for certain individuals, primarily for pregnant women, to get temporary coverage while their full application is being processed.
FAQ
What is the income limit for Medicaid in Wyoming?
Because Wyoming has not adopted Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act, eligibility for non-disabled adults is limited to parents with incomes below 43% of the poverty level. Adults without dependent children are not eligible for Medicaid in Wyoming regardless of how low their income is.
