Adult dental coverage in Wyoming Medicaid is limited to emergency services only

Wyoming Medicaid provides comprehensive dental for children but emergency-only dental for most adults. Expansion-state dental benefits for low-income adults are not available in Wyoming because Wyoming has not expanded Medicaid. Children enrolled in Wyoming Medicaid or Kid Care CHIP receive full EPSDT-scope dental. Call 1-855-294-2127 for specific coverage questions.

Dental coverage for adults in Wyoming Medicaid

Wyoming administers dental through its fee-for-service model. Wyoming Medicaid adults seeking preventive care or restorative treatment need to look outside the Medicaid program — Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) offer sliding-scale dental regardless of coverage status. Find Wyoming FQHCs at findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov.

Dental coverage for children in Wyoming Medicaid and Kid Care CHIP

Children enrolled in Wyoming Medicaid or Kid Care CHIP receive comprehensive dental coverage under the EPSDT mandate. Wyoming Medicaid's Member Handbook for Children documents covered services, which include the full EPSDT benefit scope. Confirm covered services with your child's dental provider.

Well Child Checkups include dental screening

Wyoming Medicaid's Well Child Checkup program (sometimes called EPSDT or HealthCheck) includes dental screening as part of preventive care visits. Wyoming WDH's Well Child Checkup page at health.wyo.gov/healthcarefin/medicaid/healthcheck/ describes the schedule and scope of covered preventive services, including oral health assessment for children.

Early dental intervention is one of the most cost-effective preventive health measures for children. Wyoming WDH has published data on CAHPS survey results for child Medicaid beneficiaries — the 2025 Child Medicaid and CHIP CAHPS reports are available at health.wyo.gov.

Finding a Medicaid dental provider in Wyoming

Use the Wyoming Medicaid provider and client portal at wyomingmedicaid.com to find enrolled dental providers. Wyoming is a large, sparsely populated state — dental provider availability varies significantly by county. In many rural Wyoming communities, the nearest Medicaid dental provider may be in Cheyenne, Casper, or another larger community. Non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) through Wyoming Medicaid covers travel to covered medical appointments, including dental.
