Wyoming health insurance for 2027

| Where to enroll | HealthCare.gov |
|---|---|
| 2027 open enrollment | November 1, 2026 to January 15, 2027 |
| Last day for Jan 1 coverage | December 15, 2026 |
| Medicaid expansion | No |
| State coverage mandate | No |
| Short-term plans | Allowed. A 2024 federal rule limits them to 4 months in total, but federal agencies said in August 2025 they would not enforce it while they rewrite it, so state law sets the limits |
What a plan costs in Wyoming
In Johnson County, the median-priced county in Wyoming, the benchmark silver plan cost a 40-year-old $1,104 a month in 2026. Across 23 counties it ran from $1,027 (Laramie) to $1,104 (Albany, Big Horn and 19 other counties). 2027 prices will be different.
A single 40-year-old in Johnson earning $39,900 (250% of the poverty line) would get about $816 a month in 2027 credit against that price. At 60 the same plan is priced near $2,345, and the credit grows to about $2,057, because the amount you're expected to pay depends on income, not age.
Medicaid and CHIP limits in Wyoming
Yearly income limits in 2026 dollars. Medicaid checks current monthly income, so divide by 12 for the monthly figure.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adults without children | - | - | - | - | - |
| Parents | 47% | $7,501 | $10,171 | $12,840 | $15,510 |

| Children 6 to 18 | 205% | $32,718 | $44,362 | $56,006 | $67,650 |
| CHIP | - | - | - | - | - |
Adults without children cannot get Medicaid on income alone here. An adult under 100% of the poverty line is in the coverage gap: no Medicaid and no marketplace credit. At 100% ($15,960 for one person) the credit starts.
