Why Wegovy requests get denied by Wyoming Medicaid

Based on what this policy asks for. Fix these before the first submission.

  1. Wrong brand for the diagnosis. Wegovy and Ozempic are the same molecule with different approved uses; a request for Wegovy under a diagnosis that matches Ozempic is routinely denied.
  2. Diagnosis code missing or wrong on the request.
