FFS Model: Nation’s Simplest Enrollment

Wyoming has no mandatory managed care and is the least-populated state.

  • Total onboarding: 30–45 days
  • No MCO credentialing required
  • Direct billing to fiscal agent
  • State fee schedule rates
  • Smallest Medicaid population in the nation

Advantage: Wyoming is the absolute simplest state for Medicaid enrollment. Zero MCO overhead. Ideal first state for practices testing multi-state expansion.

No Medicaid Expansion

Wyoming has not expanded Medicaid under the ACA.

Small Market: Wyoming’s Medicaid population is very small. However, extreme provider shortages mean enrolled providers face minimal competition. Telehealth strategies are essential.
