Why your county matters for coverage
In Utah, the health plans you can choose depend on where you live. Medicare Advantage and Part D plans are offered by service area, usually county by county, and marketplace premiums and carriers are set by area as well. Living in Utah County means the options on this page apply to you, and plans in a neighboring county may differ.
- Medicare: Utah Senior Health Insurance Program (SHIP) gives free, unbiased counseling at 1-800-541-7735. Ask which plans serve Utah County specifically.
- Marketplace plans: shop through HealthCare.gov (federal Marketplace); enter your Utah County ZIP code to see what is offered.
- Medicaid: apply through Utah Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
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.
