HB 20 Wyoming House · 2022 Regular Session

Medical treatment opportunity act.

HB 20, titled the "Medical Treatment Opportunity Act," proposes expanding Wyoming's Medicaid program to cover individuals eligible under federal criteria (specifically Section 1902(a)(10)(A)(i)(VIII) of the Social Security Act), which typically includes low-income adults. The bill requires Wyoming to negotiate with federal authorities for a state plan amendment but explicitly limits the expansion to periods when federal Medicaid funding rates meet or exceed 90% (for expanded coverage) or 55% (for standard coverage). It repeals a 2013 law (Chapter 116, Section 5) governing Medicaid eligibility and would take effect immediately upon enactment. The bill remains in the introduction stage (not advanced in 2022) and does not specify new funding sources or direct cost impacts.
