  • Wyoming limits how much premiums can vary due to a small group’s health status and industrial grouping. Even within these limits, however, premiums can be significantly higher if someone in your small group has a serious health condition or if the group is involved with a high-risk industry. In addition, premiums can vary based on age and other characteristics of those in your group.
  • Wyoming also limits how much small group plan premiums can increase at renewal because of claims experience.
  • For groups with more than 50 employees, Wyoming does not limit premium variations when coverage is first issued or renewed.

Check with the Wyoming Department of Insurance if you have any questions about your group plan premiums.
