Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Back pay for new in-network providers
Beginning July 1, 2025, if you later become in-network and had a fully signed contract before care, the insurer must pay you back. They must reimburse all covered, reimbursable services starting from the date they got your completed application. Federal law can override this rule.
Faster credentialing timelines for providers
Beginning July 1, 2025, insurers must confirm they got your credentialing application within 7 days and give a contact. If it is incomplete, they must tell you within 30 days what is missing. You then have 30 days to finish it; if you miss that, the clock resets. The insurer must finish credentialing within 60 days. The 60-day clock pauses during an incomplete fix and resumes after you submit a complete application. You get written or electronic notice of the decision.
Standard credentialing form and start dates
The Insurance Department must set one standard credentialing application by rule. Dental and vision plans do not have to use it. New definitions apply, including that pharmacy benefit managers are not health carriers. These rules apply to applications sent on or after July 1, 2025. Most of the law starts July 1, 2025. The rulemaking section takes effect immediately upon enactment.
Insurers can deny, honor accreditor rules
Starting July 1, 2025, insurers do not have to approve credentialing applications, unless another Wyoming law requires approval. Also, nothing in this law makes an insurer break standards from a nationally recognized accreditor.
