"The Wyoming Board of Medicine supports the American Medical Association's call for a stop to inappropriate prescribing and ordering of medications, including but not limited to chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, in response to COVID-19. This includes, but is not limited to, the prescribing of medications to patients who are asymptomatic at the time of the writing of the prescription.
The Wyoming Board of Medicine expects physicians and physician assistants to adhere to the standard of care at all times, and will aggressively investigate any reports of inappropriate prescribing related to COVID-19 and misallocation of scarce health resources during this public health emergency. This includes use of personal protective equipment (PPE) beyond the guidelines promulgated by the Centers for Disease Control for COVID-19. Failure to meet the standard of care, inappropriate and over prescribing, and over utilization of treatments, medications and equipment may constitute violations of the Wyoming Medical Practice Act, and will not be tolerated."
