How Wyoming Medicaid covers ABA

Wyoming Medicaid (WY Medicaid) operates on a fee-for-service basis. Families work directly with Wyoming Medicaid-enrolled ABA providers who bill the state program for covered services. Because Wyoming's population is spread across a large area, telehealth ABA has become increasingly important for families in rural communities.

Wyoming's autism insurance mandate

Wyoming law requires fully-insured commercial health plans to cover ABA therapy for children with autism through age 18. Coverage includes diagnosis, assessment, and behavioral health treatment.
