Utah Insurance Opportunity


Primary Care Network is open now for all adults of low income who do not have other health insurance. See www.health.utah.gov/pcn for more information. See the attached flyers and distribute extensively in your networks. Print and post!

“It’s a good preventive care plan,” said Utah Health Department spokeswoman Kolbi Young, who estimates 100,000 uninsured adults are eligible. Currently, enrollment stands at 13,000, down from a yearly average of 18,000.

Applicants must meet the following requirements (please visit the state's website for full list of requirements):

» Age 19 through 64.

» U.S. citizens or legal residents.
» Not covered by other health insurance.
» Meet income guidelines (for example, a family of four must have an income that does not exceed $33,075 a year).
» Not qualified for Medicaid.
» Have no access to student health insurance, Medicare or veterans benefits.

Applicants can apply online at www.health.utah.gov/pcn or can call the PCN hot line at 1-888-222-2542.
