Intermountain collaborates with UHPP to provide health access assisters
Share this:
Intermountain Healthcare is collaborating with the Utah Health Policy Project (UHPP) to lower the uninsured rate in Utah with health access assisters. Health access assisters find vulnerable and underserved populations to help them with health insurance coverage and understanding the complex processes, like applying for insurance, both before and after enrollment.
Slonaker said as this program grew, Intermountain started to notice UHPP’s efforts and wanted to provide monetary support to this program.
“Intermountain’s collaboration represents what I hope could be a game-changer in reducing Utah’s uninsured rate.”

State Sen. Justin Brown: Negotiations in the Senate
State Sen. Justin Brown
District 16
From where I stand, the Missouri Senate should not have needed to be in session last week, but we did, so we were.
To be perfectly honest, we did not pass legislation to renew a little-known, but absolutely vital program called the Federal Reimbursement Allowance, or FRA. Under the FRA, Medicaid service providers pay a tax, and that money entitles the State of Missouri to draw down additional money from the federal government. Last year, the FRA program accounted for more than $4 billion in revenue, which paid for about 40% of Missouri’s Medicaid program.

The Republican Attorney General in Missouri has requested the U.S. Supreme Court to hear a controversial abortion case coming out of his state. On Thursday, Attorney General Eric Schmitt sent a formal petition to the U.S. Supreme Court to review a lower court decision against a state abortion law.
The lower courts decision struck down a 2019 law that banned abortion based solely on a prenatal diagnosis such as Down syndrome. Doctors were set to face up to 15 years in prison if found guilty of violating the law, which has failed to go into effect.
