Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(1)(a) The department shall seek to maximize the use of Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program funds for assistance in the purchase of private health insurance coverage for Medicaid-eligible and non-Medicaid-eligible individuals.

(b) The department's efforts to expand the use of premium assistance shall:

(i) include, as necessary, seeking federal approval under all Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program premium assistance provisions of federal law, including provisions of PPACA;

(ii) give priority to, but not be limited to, expanding the state's Utah Premium Partnership for Health Insurance program, including as required under Subsection (2); and

(iii) encourage the enrollment of all individuals within a household in the same plan, where possible, including enrollment in a plan that allows individuals within the household transitioning out of Medicaid to retain the same network and benefits they had while enrolled in Medicaid.

(2) The department shall seek federal approval of an amendment to the state's Utah Premium Partnership for Health Insurance program to adjust the eligibility determination for single adults and parents who have an offer of employer sponsored insurance. The amendment shall:

(a) be within existing appropriations for the Utah Premium Partnership for Health Insurance program; and

(b) provide that adults who are up to 200% of the federal poverty level are eligible for premium subsidies in the Utah Premium Partnership for Health Insurance program.

(3) For the fiscal year 2020-21, the department shall seek authority to increase the maximum premium subsidy per month for adults under the Utah Premium Partnership for Health Insurance program to $300.

(4) In each fiscal year, the department may increase premium subsidies for single adults and parents who have an offer of employer-sponsored insurance to keep pace with the increase in insurance premium costs, subject to appropriation of additional funding.
