Wyoming Medicaid Increases Dental Codes
Attention Dental Providers
Effective April 1, 2023, Wyoming Medicaid implemented a legislation approved 25-percent increase for all dental codes. Wyoming Medicaid has recognized the increasing costs of providing care for members of Wyoming and the ongoing issues related to care access for dental services. We are confident the increase will benefit both the providers and members of Wyoming. Providers are urged to utilize the updated 2023 Dental Fee Schedule located on the Dental General Manual, Covered Services and Bulletins web page of the Wyoming Medicaid website.
Providers interested in enrolling to be a Wyoming Medicaid provider can visit https://wyoming.dyp.cloud/ to begin the enrollment process.
