Health Insurance Assistance for Children in Utah
Select Health, a non profit health insurer serving Utah and Idaho, has launched a premium assistance program that will supplement the existing SelectHealth Kids Plan, and reduce monthly premiums by 40-60% for qualifying residents.
Utah’s children’s health insurance program (CHIP) currently provides a low cost health insurance plan to families in need who have uninsured children, however many families fall through the cracks of these state sponsored health insurance plans across the country because they make too much money to qualify for Medicaid and other Government funded programs.
Select Health’s premium assistance program reduces the avg monthly premiums to $25-$50 a month and qualification is based on household income combined with family size. Approval into the program qualifies the family for 12 months of assistance, after the 12 months is up, families must apply for acceptance again.
