UHPP Medicaid & Chip Policy Clinic

Draft of Utah's proposed new 1115 HIFA Medicaid Waiver (updated 5/15/08)

As the research and advocacy arm of the Utah Health Policy Project, the Medicaid & CHIP Policy Clinic provides timely critical analysis of Medicaid and CHIP policies, including the state's controversial waiver initiative, the Primary Care Network.  Publications include: Health Matters, a semi-monthly newsletter on policy and advocacy developments, position papers and fact sheets, among others. 

The Utah Health Policy Project is pleased to host the activities of the Utah Medicaid Policy Partnership, a group of policy analysts, providers, health plans, advocates (representing low-income families, people with disabilities, senior citizens, and childless adults), consumers, public officials (ex-officio), and academics who gather together on a monthly basis to problem solve and seek solutions to the growing challenges of sustaining Utah's Medicaid program.  The mission of the UMPP is to "ensure that the Utah Medicaid program provides access to quality, affordable, and comprehensive health care coverage to eligible Utahns."
