✅ Does This Course Satisfy the State Requirement?

This course provides 8 approved hours toward the 24 a Wyoming producer must complete each licensing period. It does not satisfy the full requirement on its own, and it does not satisfy the separate 3-hour ethics requirement.

Wyoming will not credit the same class twice within 48 months. If this course is already on your transcript from a recent period, it will not earn credit again.

✅ Wyoming Continuing Education Requirements

Wyoming resident insurance producers complete 24 hours of continuing education each licensing period, and three of those hours must be focused on ethics. Licenses renew every two years on the last day of your birth month, so your own birthday — not a statewide calendar date — sets the deadline.

• 24 hours of continuing education each licensing period
• 3 of the 24 must be focused on ethics
• Licenses renew every two years on the last day of your birth month
• Up to 12 credits may be carried forward, but only if earned within 120 days of the license expiration date, and they count as general credits only
• A course already credited to you within the last 48 months cannot be taken again for credit
• Providers file course completions electronically with the department within 15 days

Wyoming's carryover rule is narrower than it first appears. Credits above the required 24 roll forward only when they were completed inside the 120 days before your expiration date, no more than 12 may be carried, and every carried credit counts as general education — so carried hours will not satisfy the ethics requirement in the next period. Renewal fees may be paid beginning 90 days before the renewal date.

How this course helps: This 8-hour course contributes 8 of the 24 hours a Wyoming resident producer must complete each licensing period. It is approved in the Long Term Care category. It carries general continuing education credit rather than ethics credit, so the separate 3-hour ethics requirement must still be met with an approved ethics course. Note that Wyoming will not credit the same class twice within 48 months, so check your transcript before enrolling.

✅ When Do Licensees Renew?

Wyoming producer licenses renew every two years on the last day of your birth month, and renewal invoices go out roughly 90 days beforehand. The department recommends completing all continuing education more than 30 days before your license expiration date, which is sensible given that providers have up to 15 days to file completions electronically. One rule catches people out: you cannot receive credit for the same class twice within 48 months, so a course you took in a prior period may not count again in this one.

✅ How to Renew Your License

1. Confirm your birth month and expiration date — Your license expires on the last day of your birth month, every two years. Confirm the exact date on your license record.
2. Check what you have already taken in the last 48 months — Wyoming will not credit the same class twice inside 48 months. Review your transcript before enrolling, not after.
3. Complete 24 hours, including 3 in ethics — Confirm the ethics hours specifically. Carried-over credits count as general only and will not satisfy this portion.
4. Finish more than 30 days before expiration — This is the department's own recommendation, and it allows for the 15-day electronic filing window providers have.
5. Pay your renewal fee — Renewal fees may be paid beginning 90 days before the renewal date, and an invoice is mailed around that time.
6. Verify the renewal posted — Check your license record afterward to confirm an active status and an updated expiration date.

Hour 1: Purpose, Scope, and Foundations of LTC & Partnership Programs

• Define long-term care (LTC) and distinguish it from acute medical care; explain settings of care and ADLs/IADLs triggers.

• Explain benefit triggers (2+ ADLs or severe cognitive impairment) and how licensed health-care practitioner plans of care operate.
• Describe key benefit designs (daily/monthly maximums, benefit periods, elimination periods, and pooled benefits).
• Review care settings and covered services (home care, assisted living, nursing facility, adult day care, respite, caregiver training).
• Explain inflation protection options (simple, compound, CPI-tied) and how Partnership policies satisfy age-based inflation standards.
• Summarize optional features (waiver of premium, shared care, return of premium, restoration of benefits) and suitability considerations.

Hour 4: Consumer Protections, Suitability, and Ethical Sales to Older Adults

• Review required disclosures, buyer’s guides, outline of coverage, and the free-look period for LTC policies.
• Explain suitability standards, needs analysis, documentation, and avoiding over-insurance or under-insurance.
• Address ethical communication with seniors—clear language, fair illustrations, avoidance of fear-based sales, and cultural competence.
• Discuss replacement rules, comparing existing coverage, and ensuring no loss of benefits or Partnership status when replacing.
• Identify and prevent unfair trade practices, elder financial abuse, churning/twisting, and deceptive advertising.
• Describe complaint handling, carrier/producer responsibilities, and recordkeeping to support ethical compliance.

Hour 5: Underwriting, Pricing, Rate Stability, and Claims

• Outline medical underwriting basics, cognitive screening, MIB, attending physician statements, and common declination reasons.
• Explain premium factors (age at issue, benefit design, inflation, underwriting class) and the impact on long-term affordability.
• Discuss rate stability concepts, loss ratio requirements, and the regulatory review process for premium increases.
• Describe policyholder options during premium increases (benefit reductions, paid-up options, nonforfeiture, contingent nonforfeiture).
• Summarize claims processes: notice of claim, plan of care, benefit eligibility verification, and coordination with other coverage.
• Explain care coordination, case management, and the role of licensed practitioners in ongoing eligibility assessments.

• Define HIPAA “tax-qualified” LTC contracts and requirements for benefit eligibility and per diem limits.
• Explain federal and common state tax treatment of LTC premiums and benefits for individuals and certain businesses.
• Clarify interactions with Medicare (what Medicare does and does not cover) to avoid consumer misunderstandings.
• Describe coordination with private health insurance, disability income, Medigap, and long-term disability plans.
• Explain interactions with life insurance riders and annuity riders offering LTC or chronic illness benefits.
• Review privacy rules and health information safeguards relevant to LTC (HIPAA privacy and producer obligations).

Hour 7: Partnership Qualification Standards and State-to-State Variations

• Identify the core requirements for a policy to be Partnership-qualified (issuer certification, inflation, consumer notices).
• Explain how age-based inflation standards differ across states and the compliance implications at time of sale.
• Describe producer training/continuing education requirements for Partnership sales and documentation of completion.
• Discuss state reciprocity for Partnership benefits and the role of the applicant’s state of residence at time of claim.
• Address common state-specific variations (advertising rules, replacement forms, suitability forms) and how to verify them.
• Provide a compliance checklist producers can apply across jurisdictions to ensure state-specific elements are satisfied.

Hour 8: Ethics in Practice—Case Studies, Senior Protections, and Best-Interest Recommendations

• Apply best-interest standards to LTC recommendations using a documented process that balances needs, budget, and objectives.
• Work through case studies on Retirement-income tradeoffs, Partnership vs. non-Partnership choices, and caregiver impacts.
• Identify red flags for financial exploitation and steps to protect vulnerable clients, including escalation pathways.
• Practice clear comparison of alternatives (self-funding, Medicaid planning considerations, hybrids, traditional LTC) without bias.
