Rules on prior authorization
- Prior authorization: Typical for GLP-1s in state Medicaid programs

- The request goes from your prescriber to your Medicaid plan.

How to check your plan
- Check the Wyoming Medicaid drug list for your drug.
- With managed care handling your Medicaid, use the member number printed on your card to ask whether the drug needs prior authorization.
- Because preferred drugs are approved faster, ask your prescriber which GLP-1 is preferred.
- Keep the notice that tells you whether you were approved or denied. It shows the rule that applies to your case.
