  • Look for a facility that is right for you.
  • Consider the staff and treatment outline of the facility. Each program is different. Many programs use licensed professional providers like counselors and social workers, while others use behavioral technicians or peers for counseling.
  • Make sure the services the facility provides are a benefit of your plan. Standard exclusions include:
    • Wilderness programs.
    • Lifestyle programs.
    • Art therapy programs.
    • Music therapy programs.
    • Equine therapy programs.
    • Hippotherapy programs.
    • Therapeutic boarding schools.
  • Consider the transition from your provider or facility to your daily life. Think about the difference in lifestyle and support systems. Upon transition from one care facility to the next, consider options in your area.
  • Consider your family involvement. Can your family visit for visitation in the location selected?
  • Consider the cost Out-of-network services can lead to significant costs. You may ask the facility you find on any website if they are in-network or contracted or participating with BCBSWY Shield plan in the state they are located. This confirmation will ensure you can use your in-network benefits for services.

What types of treatments are available?

Treatment options can vary depending on the severity of addiction and specific needs of the individual. It is recommended that you seek professional guidance on treatment from your doctor or a treatment provider. A clinical assessment is typically used to determine the recommended treatment option, but for general information, the following are some examples of potential options that may be considered.

Note: Check your benefit booklet or call our Mental Health and Substance Abuse Team at 844-946-6319 to determine your eligible treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wyoming Blue Circle of Excellence (WYBCE) is a local designation program, awarded by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming, recognizing health care facilities that demonstrate expertise in delivering quality and affordable health care to meet consumers’ specialty care needs needs—safely, effectively, and cost-efficiently.

  • Powder River Surgical Center

Blue Distinction Centers are required to have an intensive care unit (ICU) and an emergency room, neither of which are required for Wyoming Blue Circle of Excellence Centers. Wyoming Blue Circle of Excellence Center’s do not supersede Blue Distinction if your health plan requires services to be obtained at a Blue Distinction Center.  

Currently, total knee and hip replacement surgeries are the only procedures included under the Wyoming Blue Circle of Excellence Center program.

This program is available for all networks – Blue Select, Wyoming Select, Wyoming Choice, Wyoming Total Choice, and Participating Provider. To benefit from the cost savings, your procedure must be performed at a surgical center that is in your network.

If your deductible has been met for the year, you’ll benefit from additional cost-savings with any applicable coinsurance amounts.

Yes. The surgical facility could determine that your health conditions warrant additional safety measures, and you would be better managed at another location with an emergency department and/or intensive care unit. If this occurs, standard plan benefits would apply.

No, prior authorization is not required for knee and hip replacement surgeries.  

No. You will not be penalized for using another facility. However, you will not have access to additional cost-savings.

There are three ways that you can confirm your health coverage with BCBSWY:

Mail – If you’re a new member, you will receive a confirmation letter after you enroll, which includes your plan’s effective date your member ID number. After that, you will receive two other mailings: your welcome kit and your member ID card.

I received a bill, even though I’ve already paid it. Why did that happen, and how can I notify BCBSWY?

Similar to a utility bill, BCBSWY will mail your monthly bill to the address on your account on the 5th of every month prior to the date it is due (the 1st of each month).

Why did I receive a past-due notice in the mail when I never received a first notice?

How to Add a Family Member to Your Coverage

The steps you take will depend on whether you purchased your insurance coverage directly from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming, through the Health Insurance Marketplace, or you receive coverage through your employer.

Contents

I purchased coverage directly from BCBSWY

To add a family member to your coverage, log in to YourWyoBlue.com and select the SHOP tab at the top of the page. In most cases, you have a set amount of time to do this:

Birth of a Child?

You have within 61 days of the newborn’s date of birth to add a newborn child to your coverage.

Adoption of a Child?

You have within 61 days of the earliest date of either the petition file date, or the child’s date of entry into your home, to add an adopted child to your coverage. Please note: The adoption or legal guardianship papers must be provided.

Getting Married?

You can add your new spouse to your coverage before or after getting married as long as it’s within 30 days after the date of marriage.

For more information about enrollment periods, please review your Benefit Booklet by logging in to your account at YourWyoBlue.com. 

I purchased coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace

Go to healthcare.gov  or call the Marketplace at 1-800-318-2596 to determine if you are eligible for a special enrollment period.
