How to Renew Wyoming Medicaid
Updated August 2026
Wyoming Medicaid coverage is renewed on an annual basis. WDH sends renewal forms to members whose eligibility cannot be confirmed using administrative data. Renewals can be completed online, by phone, by mail, by fax, or by email — Wyoming offers more submission options than most states, which helps members in areas with unreliable mail service.

Wyoming Medicaid renewals — do not ignore text messages or mail from Wyoming WDH
Wyoming Department of Health sends renewal notices by mail and may send text message alerts. Per WDH: "Do not ignore these important messages and forms!" Wyoming's non-expansion status also means adults who lose Medicaid coverage at renewal — especially parents whose children age out or whose circumstances change — may have no alternative Wyoming Medicaid coverage to transition into, making renewal especially consequential for Wyoming families. Complete and return your renewal form online at wesystem.wyo.gov, by mail, fax (1-855-329-5205), or email (wesapplications@wyo.gov). Call 1-855-294-2127 with questions.
How Wyoming Medicaid renewal works
Wyoming's non-expansion status means that adults who lose Medicaid coverage at renewal may have no alternative Wyoming Medicaid coverage to transition into. Wyoming adults who don't qualify for Wyoming Medicaid may qualify for a subsidized health plan through the federal marketplace at healthcare.gov if their income is at or above 100% FPL. People below 100% FPL with no Medicaid pathway face the coverage gap, and community health centers (FQHCs) are the primary care safety net in that situation.

If your coverage was terminated and you lost income or a job
Wyoming Medicaid can be reapplied for at any time after a termination — there is no waiting period. If your income has dropped or your household circumstances have changed, you may now qualify for a Wyoming Medicaid category you didn't qualify for before.
During the COVID-19 public health emergency, federal law prohibited states from removing people from Medicaid. When that protection ended, states conducted a mass redetermination known as the "unwinding." If you lost Wyoming Medicaid during that period without receiving a renewal notice, you may still be eligible — contact Wyoming Medicaid to reapply.
If your renewal is denied
A denial must state the reason in writing and explain your right to appeal. You have 90 days from the date of the notice to request a fair hearing. File the appeal quickly — if you appeal before your coverage ends, you may be able to continue coverage during the appeal period, though this depends on timing and the reason for denial.
Common renewal denials include income that increased above the threshold, failure to respond to the renewal packet, a change in household size that affects eligibility, or immigration status questions. Some of these can be addressed by reapplying with updated information rather than appealing.
Contact Wyoming Medicaid within the 90-day window. A reconsideration or new application filed promptly can often restore coverage retroactively to the date it was lost.
Keeping your account information up to date
The most effective way to avoid renewal problems is to report changes promptly. Changes to report include a new job or income change, a move to a new address, a change in household size (new baby, someone moves in or out), and gaining or losing other health coverage.
