Take Care Utah is a network of nonprofit organizations and individuals across the state of Utah focused on helping people access health insurance coverage. [1]
Take Care Utah consists of over 100 enrollment specialists across the state. [2] The network is a program of the Utah Health Policy Project (UHPP), [3] and partnered with United Way of Salt Lake, 2-1-1, and the Association for Utah Community Health (AUCH). [4] The organization provides assistance with signing up for health insurance through the Marketplace ( Obamacare), Medicaid, and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). [5] All services are provided free of charge. Many of the people who utilize Take Care Utah's services are referred by 2-1-1 operators who can locate the nearest enrollment specialist to a person's location. [6]
Take Care Utah's organizations receive funding from several sources, including the competitive Federal Navigator grant which is awarded annually. [7] [8] [9]
Take Care Utah holds a summit every year in September for all patient navigators and Certified Application Counselors across the state to receive required trainings and set goals. [10]
