The Utah Department of Health has submitted an amendment to the CHIP State Plan. This amendment gives CHIP enrollees the option of using their adjusted gross income (AGI) from their most recent Utah State tax return as income verification and changes the collection of CHIP quarterly premiums from the Department of Health to the Department of Workforce Services. The proposed changes are subject to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services approval.. |

CHIP
Premiums |
| |
CHIP requires co-pays for non-preventive
services as well as premiums of up to $75 per family every three months. The amount
of the premium varies depending on family size and income. No family on CHIP will be
required to spend more than five percent of their family's income on premiums, co-pays,
and other covered services over a the course of a plan year, this means 365 days from when
you enroll/renew. American Indians do not have to pay premiums or co-pays for services. |
| |
|
| |
The Department of Workforce Service (DWS) Business Office will send an invoice when your
premiums are due. You will receive a new invoice every three (3) months, starting with the
first month that your child enrolled in CHIP. If your premiums are not paid and your CHIP
coverage is going to be canceled, you will be notified. Families with closed accounts for
non-payment may come back onto CHIP if they pay within 30 days. Once benefits are canceled
you will have to pay the past due balance before re-applying. |
| |
|
| |
To pay your CHIP premium or if you have a
premium question, please call the DWS Business Office (Monday - Friday, 8a.m. - 5 p.m.)
at 1-866-435-7414 and select option 5. |
