Plan to combine Utah health, human services agencies gains ground in Legislature Bethany Rodgers © Leah Hogsten (Leah Hogsten | Tribune file photo) Utah Health Director Richard Saunders, pictured in this Sept. 3, 2020, file photo, supports the planned merger of his department with the agency over human services in the state. The proposal is advancing in the Legislature and has the support of Gov. Spencer Cox. An attempt to combine two major state agencies the departments of health and human services is progressing through the Legislature with support from Utah’s new governor. “We feel the best way to be more efficient and effective as we deliver services to the public is to combine these two agencies together and try to break down those silos and get communication going,” said Rep. Paul Ray, who’s sponsoring legislation to set this merger in motion. “So that people aren’t going to two, three, four different places to get services.”

Experts from UHPP break down Utah health policy - State of Reform

Experts from UHPP break down Utah health policy Eli Kirshbaum | Jan 18, 2021 Share this: Utah had the highest increase in Medicaid enrollment in the entire country last year, according to Courtney Bullard, the education and collaborations director for the Utah Health Policy Project (UHPP). Stacey Stanford, UHPP’s health policy analyst, joined Bullard on a panel at UHPP’s annual Health Care Solutions for Utahns conference to discuss Utah’s evolving health policy and its response to COVID-19.     Stanford said there are 207,371 Utahns enrolled through the open marketplace in 2021 a number that’s been steadily increasing over the past three years. This signifies an increased need for health care because the state initially anticipated a decrease in open enrollment with the expansion of Medicaid in 2020, according to Stanford. It turns out the opposite was true.
