The Wyoming Provider Recruitment Grant Program [2.1] provides guidelines for recruiting healthcare providers in the state. The program requires eligible applicants to complete and submit an application to the Department between July 1st and September 30th each year. Once the application is approved by the Department, the applicant becomes a recruiting entity and must enter into a Contract Agreement with the Department. The Contract Agreement will outline the grant amount the recruiting entity is eligible for and how those amounts are required to be used. The recruiting entity must have a separate contract with the recruited provider. The recruiting entity must enter into a written and legally binding Offer of Recruitment or employment contract with the recruited provider. The recruiting entity must include terms in the Offer of Recruitment or employment contract to recoup any benefits paid to the recruited provider, using grant monies under this Act, in the event the recruited provider fails to meet the requirements of this Act, these rules and regulations, and/or the Contract Agreement. The recruited provider shall agree to provide medical services in the community to which he was recruited for a period of not less than two (2) years or the recruiting entity shall repay any monies granted under subparagraphs (e)(viii)(B) through (D) of this section to the state of Wyoming plus interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The recruited provider shall agree to provide medical care for not less than two (2) years in underserved areas of the state and shall accept patients qualified under the Medical Assistance and Services Act, Title XVIII of the federal Social Security Act and the child health insurance program who seek medical care which the health care provider is qualified to provide or the recruiting entity shall repay any monies granted under this section to the state of Wyoming plus interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.
Overall, while there are no specific requirements for referral programs in Wyoming, it is important to ensure that the program is transparent and compliant with all applicable laws and regulations.
