Notice for September 2011 Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)

The Utah Department of Health has submitted two amendments to the CHIP State Plan. The first, Amendment #10, gives CHIP enrollees the option of using their adjusted gross income (AGI) from their most recent Utah State tax return as income verification at application and review. The second, Amendment #11, implements the benefit plan for medical and dental services for July 1, 2011, through June 30, 2012. It contains changes to cost sharing for specialist and urgent care as well as emergency department visits. Changes are posted to the web and can be viewed at http://health.utah.gov/chip/.

The proposed changes are subject to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services approval.
