AI Summary

This bill, the Medical Treatment Opportunity Act, aims to expand Medicaid eligibility in Wyoming. It directs the state to negotiate with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to provide Medicaid coverage for all individuals described under the Social Security Act. However, the bill sets a contingency that the Medicaid expansion can only be implemented if the federal government maintains at least a 90% federal medical assistance percentage and a 55% regular federal medical assistance percentage. The bill also repeals a prior authorization requirement and is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law.
