UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage is closing in Laramie County. How long do Cheyenne members have?
Jacob Silver wrote this page and last checked it on November 10, 2026.
Through the last day of February 2027. The plans stop on December 31, 2026, and Medicare gives members whose plan was not renewed from December 8 through February to choose something else.[3]
What Medicare's lists show
In 2026 UnitedHealthcare offered Medicare Advantage in Laramie County. On the 2027 list the county has no UnitedHealthcare Advantage plan, and neither do Natrona or Sheridan.[5] Its separate drug-only plans remain on the Wyoming list.[5]
Staying covered
Do nothing and Medicare shifts you to Original Medicare when the plan stops.[3] Fall sign-up, open through December 7, is the other way to line up January coverage.[2]
Plans still offered here in 2027
Eight Advantage plans from two insurers stay on the county list for 2027.[5] The front page of this Cheyenne guide has the full count.
A Medigap opening
Losing a plan this way can carry a federal right to buy Medigap with no health questions. The application must go in within 63 days of the coverage ending, and your plan's notice serves as proof.[11]
