Health insurance plans in Natrona County, Wyoming (2027)

I pulled every 2027 marketplace plan sold in Natrona County, Wyoming out of the official CMS plan file. There are 29 plans from two carriers, and a 40 year old in Natrona pays $1,171 a month at full price for the benchmark silver plan. That is $50 more than in Laramie County, the other Wyoming county I track. Across all 79 counties and parishes I track, only one has a higher benchmark. That is $98 more than the 2026 benchmark of $1,073, a change of 9 percent. Below are the carriers, the plan counts, the full prices before subsidy, and what I think the numbers mean if you live in Casper, Mills, Evansville, Bar Nunn or anywhere else in the county.

Who sells marketplace plans in Natrona County

Natrona County and Laramie County, the two Wyoming counties I track, have the same number of carriers, two each. Across all 79 counties and parishes I track, 69 have more carriers than Natrona. UnitedHealthcare alone accounts for 15 of the 29 plans in Natrona, 52 percent of the shelf, so a lot of what you see when you shop is one company's lineup in different metal levels.

What it costs in Natrona County before any subsidy

These are the full monthly prices, before any premium tax credit, for the cheapest Natrona plan at each metal level. I show the sticker price because it is what your subsidy is subtracted from, and most people who enroll in Natrona pay less, often a lot less.

Lowest gold$828$1,059$2,248$2,117$3,385

Benchmark silver is the second lowest of the 11 silver premiums listed for Natrona. The last column is two adults aged 40 plus two children.

What these numbers mean if you live in Natrona County

The gold row is the surprise in Natrona County. The cheapest gold plan for a 40 year old, $1,059 a month, is $113 cheaper than the cheapest silver plan at $1,171. That happens because Wyoming carriers load the cost of the extra silver discounts into silver premiums. If your income is too high for those discounts, silver is the worst value on the Natrona shelf, and a gold deductible here tops out at $2,500.

In Natrona County the benchmark is $310 above the cheapest bronze at age 40, and only three of the other 78 counties and parishes I track have a wider one. That gap decides whether bronze can be free, because your subsidy is the $1,171 benchmark minus what the government expects you to pay from your income. A 40 year old in Natrona whose expected share is $310 a month or less would pay nothing for the cheapest bronze. At 60 the Natrona gap grows to $659 and at 21 it shrinks to $243, which is why older enrollees are the ones most likely to find a $0 plan.

Laramie County, around Cheyenne, is the other Wyoming county I track. Compared with Laramie County, the Natrona benchmark is $50 higher at 40 and the cheapest bronze is $37 higher. The same two carriers sell in both, so moving between Natrona and Laramie changes the price you pay but not the companies you can pick from.

Natrona plans by metal level, network and deductible

By network type the 29 Natrona plans break down as 15 EPO and 14 PPO. Only 14 are PPOs, and every one of them comes from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming. If seeing specialists without a referral matters to you, that narrows the Natrona shelf to one company. 6 plans in Natrona have a $0 medical deductible (2 expanded bronze, 2 silver and 2 gold). The 2 bronze ones among them still have out of pocket maximums of $11,800, so a $0 deductible does not mean a small bill.

Every Natrona price on this page is before subsidies, and most enrollees pay less. For a 40 year old in Natrona the premium tax credit is measured against the $1,171 benchmark. Estimate your own subsidy, or send me your ZIP and I will run the Natrona numbers for you.
