Disability Coverage Amendments

HB 310 creates a program to provide "wraparound services" (additional health services not covered by their other insurance) to disabled Utah residents who recently had Medicaid but now have other health coverage. It requires Utah's Department of Health to seek a federal Medicaid waiver by July 2025, allowing eligible individuals to access these services while paying income-based cost-sharing. The cost-sharing uses a sliding scale: 10% minimum for higher earners (over 400% of federal poverty level), with a monthly cap of $1,500, and premiums paid for other coverage count toward these costs. The bill takes effect May 2025, pending federal waiver approval.
