Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) is a national certification, not a Wyoming license. How a Wyoming court weighs it is decided case by case under the forum's expert rules; this page covers the credential's scope, the Wyoming venues where a plan is examined, and our planners who hold it and serve Wyoming.
The M.D. degree with state licensure authorizes the practice of medicine. In life care planning, physicians supply the medical foundation of the plan: diagnosis, prognosis, life expectancy considerations, and the treatment, medication, surgical, and follow-up recommendations that the planner itemizes and prices. A physician life care planner can both make and document those recommendations.
Wyoming civil claims are tried in the District Courts. Workers' compensation is provided through the state fund administered by the Department of Workforce Services, with contested claims heard by the Office of Administrative Hearings or the Medical Commission.
Outside the civil courts, the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services, Workers' Compensation Division is the forum where a plan is most often examined in Wyoming.

A physician can present a medical opinion on life expectancy based on the evaluee's condition, function, and the relevant literature. The plan shows the sources relied on and, where appropriate, the cost of the plan across a range of life expectancies.
