What is WYhealth?
WYhealth Health Management is a benefit you have through Wyoming Medicaid. The program focuses on wellness for the Wyoming Medicaid population as well those with complex medical conditions.
The WYhealth Care Management Program can help if you need some extra support to meet your health goals, understand your health condition(s), and get help with other needs you may have like food or transportation. We have nurses who would love to connect with you! Once you agree to participate, a nurse will contact you and work with you each month on your health goals.
A healthy reminder – if you haven’t seen your doctor for routine and preventive care checkups in awhile, please schedule a visit today! If you don’t have a primary care physician or need help finding a doctor, please use our “Find a Doctor” search tool.
What does WYhealth Care Management look like?
Each individual is assigned a Nurse Care Manager. To begin, your Nurse Care Manager will perform a clinical health assessment, which asks you questions about your health and other needs.
Ongoing, your Nurse Care Manager will call you monthly to discuss your chronic condition(s), medication(s), establish health goals with you and document them in a plan of care. Each month, you will work through your plan of care goals until they are all completed and you’re happy with the progress you’ve made!
A plan of care usually lasts from 3-6 months but could be longer depending on your health condition(s) and how quickly you learn to make healthy improvements. Periodically, your Nurse Care Manager will do a clinical health assessment to monitor your needs.

Our 24/7 Nurse Line will help you in these situations. Please call toll-free 888-545-1710 (TTY: 711) to speak to a nurse. Nurses can answer questions you have, give you information to help you make health decisions, and help you understand any medications you’re taking.

Transportation Assistance
Wyoming Medicaid provides members with transportation assistance in order to help with transportation costs to and from medically-necessary appointments.
Travel assistance benefits are not meant to cover the full expense of medically-necessary transportation, but when a member meets certain requirements, they may request travel assistance for mileage or for an alternate method of transportation. Not all Medicaid benefit plans are eligible for travel assistance.
To learn more or request assistance visit the Wyoming Medicaid Member Portal.
