CHEYENNE, WYO – Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming is taking additional steps to remove barriers and help its members receive the health care they need during the COVID-19 pandemic, announcing today it will waive members’ coinsurance, copayments and deductibles for COVID-19 medical treatments through June 30, 2020.

In addition to this expanded coverage, BCBSWY has taken the following steps to assist our members and providers through this unprecedented time:

• Waived cost sharing for COVID-19 testing and related services including office visits, urgent care or emergency department
