DD Providers and Case Managers

Comprehensive and Supports Waiver (DD Waiver) case managers and providers must be approved by the State of Wyoming to deliver waiver services. The application process requires providers to submit documentation of eligibility and in some cases may require a site visit.  No person or entity that provides services to a recipient shall receive Medicaid funds unless the person or entity is a party to a fully executed provider agreement, is enrolled, and has fulfilled all waiver program expectations.

To receive DD case manager or provider communications, please email your request to alejandra.brooks1@wyo.gov

Electronic Visit Verification (EVV)

Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) is a federal requirement of the 21st Century Cures Act, which outlines the system requirements for compliance and uses technology to electronically capture information about when and where home and community-based services (HCBS) of the Medicaid waivers begin and end. The Wyoming Department of Health has partnered with CareBridge EVV as a solution, free of charge for DD Waiver providers. 

DD waiver services requiring EVV data:

  • Personal Care
  • Child Habilitation
  • Companion
  • Respite
  • Skilled Nursing
