Utah Medicaid Waiver Touted to help uninsured residents The Federal Health and Human Services Administration announced the approval of a Utah Medicaid waiver amendment that will provide subsidies to low-income workers with access to employer-sponsored insurance who cannot presently afford it. Individuals would have to make less than around $14,000 to qualify. Also, workers who qualify for the Primary Care Network will have their annual $50 enrollment fee reduced. All of this is an amendment to the 1115 waiver granted to the state in February of 2002 which expanded primary and preventitive services for Utah residents.
