The most common Wyoming Medicaid denials seen in Jackson are prior authorization missing or expired, plan-of-record mismatch (patient assigned to different MCO), medical necessity documentation insufficient, timely filing exceeded, and managed care vs FFS routing errors.

Across Jackson's 9 organizations, even a few percentage points of MCO-routing error compounds into material rework.
