Gillette

Benefits built around Campbell County

Campbell County runs on mining, and on the county payroll and hospital system that grew up beside it. This is the local ground we cover before a Gillette group ever goes out for quote.

One job in five is in mining

Campbell County carried 24,673 covered jobs in the fourth quarter of 2025, the same total as a year earlier. Mining, quarrying and oil and gas holds 4,745 of them, about 19% of the county — close to one job in five. Inside that figure sit 3,013 in mining other than oil and gas, 1,450 in mining support activities and 283 in oil and gas extraction.

Eleven of Wyoming’s coal mines operate in Campbell County, and Wyoming’s mines together account for almost 40% of United States coal production. North Antelope Rochelle, here in the county, is the largest coal mine in the country, producing 59.8 million short tons in 2024. An industrial roster carries different utilization and different occupational health requirements than a service roster, and plan design here starts from that.

Care that stays in Campbell County

Campbell County Health runs its main campus at 501 South Burma Avenue in Gillette and is certified as an Area Trauma Hospital by the State of Wyoming, with a UCHealth affiliation behind it. On and around that campus: emergency care, surgery, the Powder River Surgery Center, cancer treatment, a dialysis center, cardiology, orthopedics, pediatrics, a sleep center, a walk-in clinic and the Legacy Living & Rehabilitation Center.

A network that covers the Gillette campus covers most of what a local roster will use across a year. Confirming that coverage, and mapping where specialty care routes from Gillette when it is needed, is the first check we run on any plan in Campbell County.

Wright, Rozet and the outlying crews

The Campbell County Medical Group Wright Clinic on Latigo Drive in Wright carries occupational health, on-site X-ray services, community blood draws each weekday morning, and physical therapy twice a week with direct access and no referral required.

Its occupational health team works directly with employers on health policies, functional job descriptions, and health education and training under a service agreement. For a company running crews at Wright or Rozet rather than only in Gillette, that clinic is part of the benefits picture rather than something separate from it. We map where your people actually get care before we compare a single network.

Wage bands run wide here too

The average covered wage in Campbell County ran $1,390 a week in the fourth quarter of 2025, and $1,433 across the private sector alone. Mining averaged $2,124 a week, wholesale trade $1,953, construction $1,683, health care $1,150 and accommodation and food service $469.

Local government carries 4,767 jobs, including 1,996 in education and 942 in health care, while private health care adds 1,546 and accommodation and food service 2,296. A county holding all of that on one set of payrolls needs its employee classes and contribution splits set against the real census, the employee list a carrier quotes from, before the quote rather than after it.

Common questions

What Gillette employers ask.

Yes. Huhn Insurance is licensed in Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, California and Texas, so Campbell County employers are inside our normal service area. We run reviews and renewals by phone and video, and we meet in person when a group wants that.

It depends on the carrier and the specific plan, and it is one of the first things we verify. Because the Gillette hospital handles most of what a Campbell County employee needs, its network status carries more weight here than in a lot of Wyoming.

It changes the rating and the design. Industry classification, injury exposure and shift patterns all affect what a carrier offers. We put the roster in front of multiple carriers rather than one, which is where the differences show up.

Smaller than most owners assume. Wyoming small-group rules generally start at one enrolled employee besides the owner, though carrier participation and contribution requirements vary. If a traditional group plan does not fit, an HRA arrangement often does.

Depending on the plan, we may be paid by the insurance carrier, by a client-paid fee, or by a mix of both. How we are paid is disclosed in writing up front, and if there is a fee paid by you we explain it before you move forward. Recommendations are based on fit.
