SALT LAKE CITY More than 6,200 children in the Children s Health Insurance Program in Utah lost health care coverage at the end of May as their cases were closed due to a reversal of authorization by the federal government, an advisory committee said Thursday.
Families can still get the health care coverage back, but need to reapply as soon as possible.
The closure of 2,892 cases in the Utah CHIP system resulted in the termination of insurance for 6,264 children. The closure dropped coverage for approximately 41% of the 15,207 kids receiving benefits in Utah during the month of May, the CHIP Advisory Committee confirmed in a public meeting on Thursday.
