SF 115 Wyoming House · 2024 Regular Session

Behavioral health redesign amendments-2.

This bill requires Wyoming's Department of Health to pay behavioral health service claims in the same manner as before a prior redesign, ensuring providers are reimbursed after billing private insurance or third parties. It mandates the department to collect data on payment claims and report findings to a legislative committee by September 2025, aiming to identify potential savings from improved third-party billing practices. The bill updates eligibility criteria for "indigent general access clients" to exclude those with insurance covering mental health or substance use treatment after July 2026, limiting coverage to low-income residents without such insurance. It directly affects behavioral health providers, the state health department, and qualifying low-income residents seeking mental health or substance use disorder treatment.
