When it comes to health insurance, University of Utah Health Plans truly lives up to its tagline: By Utah. For Utah. These plans aren’t built by a national corporation guessing what Utah families need—they’re designed by people who live here, work here, and get care here too.
From standout wellness rewards to huge provider networks and genuinely fast customer service, University of Utah Health Plans are built to make health insurance simpler, more complete, and honestly… easy to use.
💸 Get Rewarded for Taking Care of Yourself
One of the most loved features of University of Utah Health Plans is their member wellness incentives. Staying healthy doesn’t just feel good—it pays off.
Eligible members can earn $50 gift cards for completing common preventive care:
Flu Shot (All Ages) – $50 gift card per member
Well-Child Visit (Ages 3–17) – $50 gift card per child
Preventive Care Visit (Ages 18+) – $50 gift card per member
Breast Cancer Screening (Women 40+) – $50
That’s real money back in your pocket for things you should already be doing—and your doctor probably reminds you about anyway.
🏥 Two Strong Networks: Premier & Plus
University of Utah Health Plans offers two excellent provider networks, so members can choose what works best for their location and care needs.
Healthy Premier Network

U Health Plus Network
7,656 providers
10 hospitals
22 urgent care locations
Designed for members in Salt Lake and Davis Counties
Both networks include top-tier hospitals, specialists, and clinics—without forcing members into overly narrow options.
🩺 Clinics You Know and Trust

These aren’t “extras”—they’re real-life needs, and these plans are built to support them.
