This bill amends the Wyoming Medical Assistance and Services Act to authorize payment for services rendered by birthing centers. Specifically, it adds a new paragraph to W.S. 42-4-103(a), which now includes "services provided by birthing centers" as an authorized service under the medical assistance program, referencing the definition of birthing centers found in W.S. 35-2-901(a)(iii).

The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, allowing for the inclusion of birthing centers in the state's medical assistance framework, thereby expanding access to maternal and newborn care services for eligible individuals.
