The Wyoming Department of Health faced a challenge a year ago. Under a process known as "Medicaid unwinding," it needed to restart reviews to see if people were still eligible to re-enroll in the program. The annual reviews were paused for years as part of pandemic relief, and while this was a return to normal, many families had never gone through the process before.
The WDH partnered with groups like Enroll Wyoming to spread the word about unwinding and let people know there were free resources available to help people re-enroll or find alternative coverage if they did not qualify.
Now that the process is wrapping up, the next season of renewals should commence without any expected changes. Additionally, Enroll Wyoming remains available to help families who lose Medicaid or CHIP coverage. For more information, including details on the extended special enrollment period, click here.
