Medicaid in Wyoming
Wyoming has not expanded Medicaid, so many adults without children can’t qualify based on income alone. If your income is low, check anyway: children, pregnant women, people with disabilities and some parents may qualify.
You can apply for Medicaid any time of year. Find your state agency through Medicaid.gov.
Insulin
Wyoming doesn’t have its own insulin copay cap. Medicare still caps covered insulin at $35 a month, and Lilly, Novo Nordisk and Sanofi each offer $35-a-month programs outside Medicare.

- Prescription Assistance Program: general
State programs change. Search the program name with “Wyoming” to confirm it’s still running and check who qualifies.
