CHEYENNE — WyoBlue Advantage Inc. announced its entrance into the state’s Medicare Advantage market. The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming (BCBSWY) affiliated plan is available for Medicare Advantage (MA) enrollment this fall for 2026 coverage.
Medicare Advantage, also known as Medicare Part C, combines Original Medicare Parts A and B into one easy-to-manage plan, along with additional benefits. Plans often include coverage for prescription drugs and may include a variety of supplemental benefits not covered under Original Medicare. Medicare Advantage plans may also include coverage and/or flex spending card allowances to cover supplemental benefits like dental, vision, hearing or fitness costs.
In its inaugural year, WyoBlue Advantage coverage will be available to Medicare-eligible residents who reside in 22 of Wyoming’s 23 counties. The company is preparing to offer both a Medicare-only option and plans that include Part D coverage. Eligible individuals can sign up during the Annual Enrollment Period, which takes place each year from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7.
“We’re excited to serve those who call Wyoming home with high-value health care plans designed specifically for them by people who live in Wyoming, and we aim to add Sheridan County in the future,” said WyoBlue president, Jeremy Martinez, an experienced leader in strategic health care operations, including Medicare Advantage. “Instead of seniors doing all the work researching and supplementing Medicare plans, WyoBlue Advantage members can get their benefits wrapped into one plan with a local neighborhood agent, excellent member service, a care support team, and benefits to keep them healthy. The nationwide network of Blue providers also allows members access to health care where they need it.”
