Utah Medicaid

Utah Medicaid provides low-cost or no-cost health care coverage to low-income Utah residents who meet the program’s eligibility requirements.

Medicaid in Utah covers children under age 18, pregnant women, disabled adults, seniors as well as women with breast or cervical cancer.

Most members are enrolled in Managed Care Plans that coordinate medical, dental, and behavioral health, including:

Dental services are now a standard benefit for most adults enrolled in Medicaid, often coordinated through specialized dental plans like MCNA Dental or DentaQuest.
