Benefits built around Sheridan and Johnson counties

Two counties, two very different rosters

Sheridan County employs about 15,926 people, led by health care at roughly 2,590, construction at 1,883 and education at 1,634. Johnson County employs about 4,147 — and agriculture is its single largest sector at 609, which is rare anywhere in the country.

A Sheridan construction firm and a Johnson County ranch operation need different plan shapes. We do not hand both the same quote.

A growing manufacturing base

Weatherby relocated its corporate headquarters and manufacturing from California to Sheridan, projected by the Wyoming Business Council at 70 to 90 jobs and more than $5 million in annual payroll within five years. The Sheridan VA Medical Center is among the county's largest employers.

Sheridan Memorial Hospital is an 88-bed Area Trauma Hospital, and the county commission approved a Billings Clinic affiliation in March 2026. Johnson County Healthcare Center in Buffalo is a 25-bed critical access hospital. We check every plan against both.

Common questions

What Sheridan and Buffalo employers ask.

Yes. Huhn Insurance is licensed across Wyoming, so Sheridan and Johnson 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 both are among the first things we verify. We are also tracking the Billings Clinic affiliation approved for Sheridan Memorial in 2026, because affiliations can change network options.

Often yes, and the structure matters more than the headcount. Seasonal and variable-hour staff bring measurement periods and eligibility rules into play. Where a traditional group plan does not fit, an HRA arrangement frequently does.

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. We look at both a group plan and an HRA before telling you which is better.

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.
