Guidance Through Wyoming's Insurance Landscape

Wyoming's insurance market differs from more populated states—Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans are often the primary choice for beneficiaries here. Our Healthcare Navigators help you understand how Original Medicare works with supplemental coverage, compare available plans, and identify programs that may help cover costs. We provide unbiased information so you can make decisions that fit your healthcare needs and budget, without the pressure of a sales pitch.

Care Coordination Across Long Distances

When your primary care provider is in one community and specialists are hours away, coordination matters. Our Navigators help facilitate communication between your healthcare providers, assist with organizing medical records for out-of-area appointments, and help you prepare for visits with specialists you may see infrequently. We understand the realities of healthcare in Wyoming and work to make the system work better for you.

Empowering Your Healthcare Decisions

Wyomingites value independence and self-reliance—qualities that matter in healthcare decisions too. Our Navigators provide the information and support you need to take charge of your care, from understanding treatment options to knowing your rights as a patient. We help you ask the right questions and navigate the system with confidence.
