Where to get help in Cheyenne
WSHIIP, Wyoming's state Medicare counseling program, runs a Cheyenne office at 3120 Old Faithful Road, Suite 200. Its counselors are trained volunteers and staff who explain your options and sell nothing. Call 1-877-634-1005, or 1-800-856-4398 statewide.[6]
To enroll in Part A or Part B, or to fix a Medicare card problem, you go through Social Security, which has an office in Cheyenne. Look up the current address and opening hours with Social Security's office locator.[7]
How many plans Laramie County has
Medicare's 2027 list gives Laramie County 8 Advantage plans, sold by two insurers. 4 carry drug coverage inside the plan, and none is built for people who also have Medicaid. On top of that come the 9 drug-only plans sold across Wyoming. We took these counts from the CMS CY2027 Landscape file (data as of November 1, 2026) on November 9, 2026.[5]
Cheyenne sits next to Colorado
Many Cheyenne families use doctors and hospitals in Fort Collins, Loveland and Denver. That decides a lot. With Original Medicare and a Medigap policy, any provider in the U.S. that takes Medicare is open to you, Colorado included.[4]
A Medicare Advantage plan is sold by a private insurer and usually has a network. Before joining, ask whether your Colorado doctors are in that network, and what you pay if they are not.[4]
Medigap is easiest to get in your first six months on Part B at 65 or older: insurers cannot refuse you or raise the price over your health in that window. Later, they may ask health questions.[1]
The calendar
- Each fall, from October 15 through December 7, anyone on Medicare can change Advantage or drug plans.[2]
- From January through March, people already in an Advantage plan get one more change.[2]
- New to Medicare at 65? Your sign-up window opens three months before your birthday month and closes three months after it.[2]
- Life events such as moving or entering a nursing home may let you change at other times.[3]
Before your appointment
Have your Medicare card, the bottles or a list of the medicines you take, and your doctors' names on one sheet.
