Overview edit
Take Care Utah consists of over 100 enrollment specialists across the state.[2] The network is a program of the Utah Health Policy Project (UHPP),[3] and partnered with United Way of Salt Lake, 2-1-1, and the Association for Utah Community Health (AUCH).[4] The organization provides assistance with signing up for health insurance through the Marketplace (Obamacare), Medicaid, and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).[5] All services are provided free of charge. Many of the people who utilize Take Care Utah's services are referred by 2-1-1 operators who can locate the nearest enrollment specialist to a person's location.[6]
Funding edit
Take Care Utah's organizations receive funding from several sources, including the competitive Federal Navigator grant which is awarded annually.[7][8][9]
Annual Summit edit
Take Care Utah holds a summit every year in September for all patient navigators and Certified Application Counselors across the state to receive required trainings and set goals.[10]
