Wyoming has no private-payer telehealth payment parity
Summary
Wyoming has no private-payer telehealth law, so insurers are not required to reimburse telehealth at the same rate as in-person care. Commercial telehealth coverage and payment are left to plan discretion.
Wyoming has no private-payer telehealth statute, meaning commercial insurers are not required to cover telehealth or pay it at parity with in-person services. This affects clinicians and privately insured patients in Wyoming, where telehealth reimbursement can be set below in-person rates or omitted entirely. The lack of a parity mandate weakens the sustainability of virtual care across a rural, access-challenged state.
