- Turning 65 in Sandy? Your Initial Enrollment Period runs seven months around your birthday. Utah Senior Health Insurance Program (SHIP) offers free counseling at 1-800-541-7735.
- Buying your own plan? Shop through HealthCare.gov (federal Marketplace).
- Medicaid questions? Utah Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) handles applications.
Utah note: Because Utah's SHIP counselors are staffed through both the Insurance Department and the Division of Aging and Adult Services, coverage reaches every county rather than sitting in one centralized call center -- a structure that carries over into in-person help at local senior centers.

A plan can be listed because it was renumbered or replaced, not only because a company is leaving the county. When the same company keeps other plans there, members are usually moved to a replacement plan. Your plan should send you a notice, and Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period (October 15 to December 7) is when you can compare and switch. “People enrolled” is the number enrolled in that plan today (CMS hides counts of 10 or fewer).
