How many Medicare Advantage plans are not returning in Wyoming for 2027, and which carriers are they from?
Six Medicare Advantage plans offered in Wyoming for 2026 are not in the CMS 2027 Landscape file for any county in the state, and all six are from a single carrier, UnitedHealthcare. For 2027, the CMS Landscape file lists eight Medicare Advantage plans in Wyoming from two carriers. The six not-returning plans, listed alphabetically by carrier in the table on this page, are AARP Medicare Advantage from UHC WY-0001 (PPO), AARP Medicare Advantage from UHC WY-0002 (PPO), UHC Dual Complete WY-S001 (PPO D-SNP), UHC Medicare Advantage Patriot No Rx WY-MA01 (PPO), UHC MedicareDirect Patriot No Rx PF-MA01 (PFFS), and UHC MedicareDirect PF-0001 (PFFS). A plan is sold county by county, so being on this statewide list does not mean the plan was available in every Wyoming county.
Which non-returning Wyoming Medicare Advantage plans served the most counties for 2026?
Among the six Wyoming plans not returning for 2027, four served two counties for 2026 and two served one county. The four two-county plans are AARP Medicare Advantage from UHC WY-0001 (PPO), AARP Medicare Advantage from UHC WY-0002 (PPO), UHC Dual Complete WY-S001 (PPO D-SNP), and UHC Medicare Advantage Patriot No Rx WY-MA01 (PPO). The two one-county plans are UHC MedicareDirect Patriot No Rx PF-MA01 (PFFS) and UHC MedicareDirect PF-0001 (PFFS). The county footprints are drawn directly from the CMS 2026 Landscape file; none of these plans was offered statewide.
How can a Wyoming member tell if their Medicare Advantage plan is leaving for 2027?
A Wyoming member can tell in two ways: by the written notice the carrier is required to mail in the fall, and by whether the plan's exact name appears on the not-returning list on this page. The notice may be called a non-renewal letter or be part of the Annual Notice of Change packet; it will say the contract will not be offered in 2027 and explain enrollment options. If the plan's name and contract-plan ID match one of the six listed above, the plan will not be available in Wyoming on January 1, 2027.
What happens to a Wyoming enrollee who does nothing before January 1, 2027?
A Wyoming enrollee whose Medicare Advantage plan is not returning and who does nothing will be in Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) on January 1, 2027, with no Medicare prescription drug coverage unless they choose a stand-alone Part D plan or a Medicare Advantage plan that includes drugs. Original Medicare does not include a Part D benefit on its own, and it does not include the extras a Medicare Advantage plan may bundle. Doing nothing is a valid choice, but it should be a deliberate one.
What is the Special Enrollment Period and Medigap guaranteed-issue right for a non-renewed plan?
When a Medicare Advantage plan is non-renewed, CMS grants affected members a Special Enrollment Period that runs through the end of February 2027 to join another Medicare Advantage plan or return to Original Medicare with a stand-alone Part D plan. At the federal program level, losing Medicare Advantage coverage because the plan is leaving the area can also trigger a Medigap guaranteed-issue right, meaning certain Medigap policies must be sold without medical underwriting within a set window. State-specific Medigap rules and timelines vary; the Wyoming Department of Insurance is the authoritative source for Wyoming rules.
How can a Wyoming resident check their own county's Medicare Advantage lineup for 2027?
A Wyoming resident can check their own county's 2027 Medicare Advantage lineup on the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov by entering their ZIP code, or by calling 1-800-MEDICARE, which is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The CMS Landscape file lists plans by county, so availability in Laramie County, Natrona County or Teton County may differ from the statewide totals. Plan details — premium, deductible, drug list, provider network and star rating — come from the Plan Finder and the plan's own Evidence of Coverage.
What should a Wyoming member do before December 7, 2026?
Before December 7, 2026, a Wyoming member whose plan is on the not-returning list should compare the Medicare Advantage plans and stand-alone Part D plans available in their county for 2027, confirm that any doctors, hospitals and prescriptions they rely on are covered, and enroll in the choice that fits. Annual Enrollment 2027 runs October 15 through December 7, 2026, and the choice made in that window takes effect January 1, 2027. Members whose plan is non-renewed also have the Special Enrollment Period through the end of February 2027 as a backstop.
Where can a Wyoming resident get free help?
A Wyoming resident can get free help from Medicare directly at medicare.gov and by calling 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227), TTY 1-877-486-2048. The Plan Finder on medicare.gov shows every Medicare Advantage and Part D plan available in a given ZIP code for 2027, along with the plan documents to read before enrolling.
