Wyoming Open Enrollment 2027 for Individuals
Last updated November 3, 2026 · By Frank Caballero, licensed health insurance broker
Short answer
For individuals and couples buying their own coverage in Wyoming, open enrollment for 2027 coverage runs November 1, 2026 to January 15, 2027 on HealthCare.gov, and December 15 is the date to choose by for a January 1 start. A private, medically underwritten plan works on its own clock: if approved, it can start the first of any month, whether or not the window is open.
What 2027 looks like for you
Wyoming's average 2027 rate change is 11.2% to 11.3% (finalized). The details are on the Wyoming 2027 premium increase page.
For 2027 the subsidy line is $63,840 for one person and $86,560 for a couple; above it, every metal level is full price. Bronze and catastrophic plans count as HSA-eligible starting with 2026 coverage, and the 2027 out-of-pocket cap is $12,000 for one person, which is the real worst case to compare.
Wyoming this year
Wyoming's approved 11.3 percent looks mild next to its neighbors, but full-price premiums were already among the highest in the country, and the state has the smallest individual market anywhere, with very few insurers. Wyomingites sign up on HealthCare.gov, and the state runs no program of its own to trim premiums. Long drives between Cheyenne, Casper, Laramie and Gillette mean the network often decides the plan. Older self-employed residents earning more than $63,840 alone, or $86,560 as a couple, still face some of the steepest unsubsidized premiums nationally even with a moderate increase.
One thing to do before you choose
If your specialists are in Denver, Salt Lake City or Billings, search for each one in the 2027 provider listings, because many Wyoming plans have limited networks outside the state. Seasonal workers in Jackson and energy-town contractors should build the 2027 estimate from the full year, not one strong season, and revise it whenever work picks up or slows down, so the subsidy you receive matches what you actually earn.
Your checklist
- Each plan's network type in your Wyoming ZIP code
- The out-of-pocket maximum next to the premium
- Your 2027 income against the one- or two-person line
- Bronze with an HSA if you rarely need care
Private plan or Marketplace?
Private plan
Healthy single adults or couples above the line: priced on age, ZIP code and health. Approval depends on health answers; not an ACA Marketplace plan.
Marketplace
A health condition or income under the line: HealthCare.gov must accept you, and the subsidy can lower the price.

Questions
When is the 2027 open enrollment deadline in Wyoming?
January 15, 2027 on HealthCare.gov. Choose by December 15, 2026 for coverage that starts January 1; plans picked after that start February 1.
I just moved to Cheyenne for a seasonal job with no benefits. Can I get a plan before January?
Yes. Open enrollment on HealthCare.gov runs through January 15, 2027, and choosing by December 15 lets coverage begin January 1. Relocating to Wyoming can also count as a qualifying event later on. With few insurers, check that each plan reaches the hospitals you would actually use.
Can I get a private plan in Wyoming after open enrollment closes?
Yes. You can apply in any month and, if approved, a private plan can start the first of a month; the insurer can decline based on health answers.
