• New producers building a working foundation in this coverage area
• Experienced agents refreshing before a renewal deadline
• Agency staff who support producers and want the same technical grounding

✅ Does This Course Satisfy the State Requirement?

This course provides 4 approved credit hours toward the 24-hour Wyoming continuing education requirement. It does not by itself satisfy the full renewal requirement, and it does not satisfy the 3-hour ethics requirement.

✅ Wyoming Continuing Education Requirements

Wyoming resident insurance producers complete 24 hours of approved continuing education each licensing period, and 3 of those hours must be focused on ethics. The licensing period is two years, ending on the last day of the licensee's birth month. Non-resident licensees comply with their home state's requirement instead — Wyoming imposes no additional continuing education on them.

• 24 hours of approved continuing education each two-year licensing period
• 3 of those 24 hours must be focused on ethics
• Applies to resident producers and to designated-home-state licensees, including adjusters, consultants, public adjusters, title agents and crop agents
• Non-residents follow their home state. There is no additional Wyoming continuing education requirement for a non-resident licensee
• Carryover is limited. Credits above the required 24 may be carried forward only if earned within 120 days of expiration, capped at 12 credits, and they count as general credit only — never as ethics
• Providers file completions electronically with the Department and have 15 days to do so, which is why the Department recommends finishing more than 30 days before expiration
• No extensions are available, and there is no grace period for continuing education reports
• As of January 1, 2023 the Department no longer assesses a continuing education fee to licensees

How this course helps: This 3-hour course provides 4 approved credit hours toward the 24 hours Wyoming requires each two-year cycle. It applies as general credit and does not satisfy the separate 3-hour ethics requirement, so at least 21 additional hours — including your 3 ethics hours — must be completed separately.

✅ When Do Licensees Renew?

Wyoming insurance producer licenses renew every two years on the last day of the month of your birthday. The Department's own example is a licensee born on July 4th whose license is approved on December 6, 2021 — that first renewal date is July 31, 2023. A first term is therefore often longer than 24 months, so confirm the exact date on your license record.

Renewal invoices are emailed approximately 90 days before the expiration date. There is no grace period for renewal applications, fees or continuing education reports, and no extensions are granted. Because approved providers have 15 days to file completions, the Department recommends finishing continuing education more than 30 days before the license expires.

✅ How to Renew Your License

Step 1: Confirm your expiration date

Wyoming licenses renew every two years on the last day of your birth month. Check the date on your license record rather than calculating it — a first term is often longer than 24 months.

Step 2: Watch for the renewal invoice

The Department emails renewal invoices roughly 90 days before the license expiration date. Make sure the email address on your record is current.

Step 3: Complete 24 hours, including 3 ethics hours

Only courses approved for Wyoming count. Finish more than 30 days before your expiration date, because providers have 15 days to file your completion and there is no grace period.

Step 4: Confirm your credits were filed

Providers file completions electronically with the Department. Check that all 24 hours appear, and that the ethics hours are recorded in the ethics category, before your expiration date.

Step 5: Submit the renewal through Sircon or NIPR

Wyoming accepts renewals through either system. Business entities must have at least one Designated Licensed Producer assigned in order to renew.

Step 6: Pay the renewal fee and save the receipt

Pay the state's renewal fee at submission and keep the confirmation.

Step 7: Verify the license shows active

Confirm the record shows an active status with an updated expiration date. A license renewed within twelve months of lapsing carries a reinstatement penalty in addition to the renewal fee; after twelve months the licensee is treated as a new applicant and must retest and re-fingerprint.

✅ What You Will Learn

• How ACA market rules govern rating, issue and essential health benefits today
• Metal tiers, actuarial value and what a client actually pays out of pocket
• Premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions, including the subsidy cliff
• Open enrollment, special enrollment periods and qualifying life events
• Where short-term, indemnity and sharing arrangements are not comprehensive coverage
• Employer-sponsored coverage rules that affect individual market eligibility

✅ Course Content Overview

Hour 1 – Health Insurance Landscape, Plan Types and Core Coverage Concepts

Individual, small-group and large-group plan structures and how each is regulated. Covers plan design fundamentals — deductibles, copayments, coinsurance and the out-of-pocket maximum — the managed care models behind HMO, PPO, EPO and POS networks, and the decision drivers that actually determine which plan a consumer chooses.

Hour 2 – Affordable Care Act Framework, Marketplace Enrollment and Practical Updates

The key ACA provisions still governing the market, including essential health benefits, guaranteed issue and the prohibition on pre-existing condition exclusions. Covers Marketplace eligibility and enrollment concepts, the subsidy and affordability mechanisms that determine net premium, and the problem areas that most often produce a failed enrollment or a mid-year surprise.

Hour 3 – Supplemental Health Products and Emerging Coverage Trends

Disability income and long-term disability concepts, then hospital indemnity, critical illness and accident products and where each fits alongside a major medical plan. Covers short-term medical and other limited-duration coverage, what it does not do, and the emerging trends reshaping how supplemental products are sold and serviced.

Hour 4 – Regional Market Considerations, Compliance and Client Communication Standards

Regional operational considerations that change how a plan performs from one market to another, and the compliance expectations that apply to health insurance sales. Covers suitability and needs-analysis practices, and the post-enrollment service standards — renewals, mid-year changes and documentation — that keep a book of business clean.
