Health & Wellness

Health Choice Utah wants you and your family to live a healthy life by making smart, healthy choices.

In-Home Health Assessments

Some members may be eligible for in-home health assessments. We partner with House Call Doctors, Fia Care, and Community Nursing Services to complete these visits. These providers may call you to schedule a home visit.
Telehealth assessments are also available for members who don’t want a home visit.

What to Expect: During the visit, a healthcare provider will come to your home to talk about your health and wellness. They might ask about how you're feeling, your medications, and if you need help with anything related to your health. They could also check things like your blood pressure or weight to make sure you're staying healthy.
The providers may ask about your medical history, any health concerns you have, and how you're managing your health at home. They might also ask about your daily routine, any challenges you face, and if you need any assistance or resources to help you stay healthy.

Health Risk Assessment

Every member of our health plan will receive and complete a Health Risk Assessment (HRA). HRAs help us coordinate and manage your health needs. You may be offered enrollment in a healthcare management program which is designed to help you stay healthy.

Please complete the brief questionnaire by answering the below questions. We do not share your scores with anyone.

Case Management

Health Choice Utah has a staff of nurses and healthcare professionals that may be assigned to help you and/or a family member get the healthcare you need. Our staff works closely with your primary care physician to manage your care and keep you healthy.

Child Health Evaluation and Care Program (CHEC)

The Child Health Evaluation and Care Program (CHEC) is Utah's Medicaid Program for children from birth through age 20. 

Health Choice Utah provides all CHEC services including well-child, shots, and exams. Children may need other types of care. Some of this care may be for physical, occupational, speech therapy, medical equipment, including wheelchairs or nurses in the home. Your doctor needs to call Health Choice Utah for approval for these services before you can get them.

CHEC visits are also called well-child visits and include all screenings and services recommended for CHEC.

Adult Preventive Care

Contact your doctor and ask when you should get tests and exams, such as:

Screenings for Women

Regular screenings and tests include:

  • Yearly mammogram
  • Pap smears
  • Colonoscopies
  • Chlamydia Screening
  • Bone Density

Protect Your Health: Breast & Cervical Cancer Screenings Matter

Regular screenings can detect cancer early — when it's most treatable. If you received a text message from us, you're one step closer to taking charge of your health.

Why Screenings Are Important

  • Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the U.S.
  • Cervical cancer is almost entirely preventable with routine Pap and HPV tests.
  • Screenings can find cancer before symptoms appear.

Did You Know?

  • 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.
  • Cervical cancer rates have dropped significantly due to regular screenings, but many women still miss their recommended tests.
  • Women who are screened regularly have significantly lower mortality rates.

Who Should Get Screened?

  • Breast cancer: Women aged 40 and older should receive an annual mammogram, even without family history.
  • Cervical cancer: Women aged 21–65 should get regular Pap tests, with HPV testing as recommended.

Family Planning

Health Choice Utah covers family planning services. This service helps you plan when you want to have a baby or prevent pregnancy. Family planning services include information, treatment and counseling about birth control. You can get family planning services from any -primary Health Choice Utah doctor or any Medicaid doctor without co-pay. You don't need a referral.

There are no co-payments for Family Planning Services.

Pregnancy and Maternity Services

If you are pregnant, it is very important for you to keep your eligibility up to date. See your OB doctor as soon as you think you are pregnant. Also, notify your local DWS office as soon as you find out that you are pregnant.

Be sure to report the birth to your eligibility worker to make sure that your health coverage continues for you and your child. Call a Member Services Representative to arrange for a doctor for you and your baby. Be sure to follow up with your OB doctor for your check-up after your baby is born.
