Does Wyoming have a risk pool for the uninsurable?

Thumbs up on offering a risk pool.; Wyoming Health Insurance Pool (scroll down)
(307) 634-1393


IMPORTANT UPDATE: Starting in 2010, Wyoming will offer health coverage to residents through the federally established temporary high-risk pool program. To find out more about Wyoming's participation, click here.

Risk pools are state-sponsored programs to help people with a history of medical problems in their family to purchase coverage. These pools are for people who can afford to buy health insurance, but are not able to get underwritten in the private market because of a pre-existing health condition. These programs can vary significantly from state to state in price, benefits and number of people served. Often insurance companies doing business in the state are required to contribute to the pool to keep it in the black. In the best cases, they allow people to be able to switch jobs or become self-employed without the fear of losing their health insurance coverage. Read more about risk pools here.
