Making the Connection to Partnerships
by Sabrina Lane
As I perused this month’s newsletter, I smiled. It is once again packed full of information that can be shared with clients, constituents, family, and friends. But it also exemplifies the numerous and diverse partnerships that Wyoming 211 has built over the years. For example, Wyoming 211 has been partners with Enroll Wyoming since 2013 and has been the front door for individuals seeking health insurance through the marketplace. Our call staff are trained navigators and can determine eligibility and identify health insurance options for clients. If a client needs more assistance with their health insurance options, our staff will do a warm handoff to the Enroll Wyoming navigators for a more in-depth review. I could go on and on about our partnerships. I am so proud of each and every one.
If you have information you would like to share, please reach out and we would be happy to connect your information with those who need to know…that’s what we do.

The impending termination of the Public Health Emergency, or "PHE," represents a return to business-as-usual for Medicaid. Recertification forms will be sent out to all Medicaid clients when the PHE ends, and we need to make sure that recipients, many of whom haven't had to reapply for nearly 3 years, receive these forms.
ALSO: Because of the anticipated volume of Medicaid applications/recertifications being submitted, please encourage your clients/constituents to act now to avoid any potential processing delays.
