When people shop for health insurance, the monthly premium usually gets the spotlight. But with SelectHealth, the real value goes far beyond the price you see on paper. From strong Utah-based provider networks to wellness rewards, pharmacy savings, and virtual care, SelectHealth offers benefits that truly support members throughout the year.
Below is a breakdown of the value-adds that make SelectHealth stand out, along with an overview of the three networks we most often help clients choose from: Med, Value, and Signature.
Built for Utah (and Utah Families)
SelectHealth is deeply rooted in Utah and works closely with Intermountain Health providers and facilities statewide. That local focus shows up in:
Broad access to hospitals, clinics, specialists, and InstaCare locations
Streamlined care coordination
Lower negotiated costs that help keep premiums competitive
For many Utah families, this means fewer surprises and more confidence when it’s time to actually use their health insurance.
SelectHealth Value-Adds & Member Perks
These are the extras many people don’t realize are included—but end up loving once they enroll.
Wellness Rewards
Members can earn up to $240 per person or $580 per family by completing healthy activities like gym visits and physical activity tracking. It’s one of the few health plans that truly rewards you for staying active.
Preventive Care at No Cost
Most preventive services—annual checkups, screenings, and routine care—are covered at $0, helping members stay proactive about their health and avoid higher costs later.
Prescription Savings Programs
SelectHealth members have access to several built-in tools to help reduce prescription costs, including:
Rx Savings Solutions®, which helps identify lower-cost medication options
Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs, offering many medications at transparent, reduced prices
Amazon Pharmacy, with in-network benefits and convenient home delivery
For members on ongoing medications, these programs can add up to significant savings each year.
Virtual Care — Including $0 Virtual Mental Health Visits
One of the most-loved benefits of SelectHealth plans is that Marketplace plans include virtual mental health visits with a $0 copay on select plans.
This has been a game changer for many of our clients because it makes therapy more accessible, more affordable, and easier to fit into real life.
A common approach we see (and love) is this:
Clients start with 1–5 in-person therapy visits, paying the normal copay
Once they’re comfortable with their therapist, they switch to virtual visits
From there, those virtual mental health appointments are $0 copay
For busy parents, working professionals, students, and anyone juggling schedules, this flexibility removes major barriers to getting help. No commute, no waiting rooms, and no added cost.
This benefit alone is one of the top reasons many clients choose SelectHealth over other insurance companies. When mental health care is easier to access, people are far more likely to use it—and that’s exactly how health insurance should work.
Understanding SelectHealth Networks
Choosing the right network is one of the most important parts of selecting a SelectHealth plan. Here’s how the three main options compare:
Med Network
Best for: Members who want the broadest access across Utah
Largest SelectHealth network
Extensive statewide coverage
Includes many hospitals, clinics, specialists, and urgent care locations
Great option for families and individuals who want flexibility
This is often the most popular choice for clients who want peace of mind knowing they have wide provider access.
Value Network
Best for: Budget-conscious members who still want strong coverage
Slightly smaller than Med, but still very robust
Excellent access throughout Utah
Lower monthly premiums than Med
Emergency and urgent care covered statewide
The Value network offers a strong balance between affordability and access, making it a favorite for many individuals and families.
Signature Network
Best for: Members who live and receive care locally
Smaller, more limited network
Coverage primarily in Utah County and Salt Lake County
Lower premiums compared to Med and Value
Best for people who don’t travel often and are comfortable staying within a narrow network
Signature can be a great fit for the right person—but it’s important to understand the geographic limitations before enrolling.
