According to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), 359,000 Utah residents are uninsured (15% of the state’s population) and 93% of those are eligible for tax credits to supplement their insurance costs in the Affordable Care Act-enabled marketplace.
The HHS also reported that the average cost for the bronze plan in Utah, the lowest-cost option, is $201 /mo. before any tax credits. This is well below the national average for a bronze plan which is $249 a month.
Utah has opted to let the federal government and the HHS run their health care marketplace. Residents can enroll at the official website Healthcare.gov or they can call 1-800-318-2596, available 24/7. Small business should go to the state run website avenueh.com. As a basis for comparison, we encourage you to get quotes direct from other insurance companies to view a better range of plans and to get assistance with dental and vision plans.
