Side-by-side: Utah's top two HMO plans for 2026
Medicare Advantage plans are required by law to cap your out-of-pocket costs each year, but the specific limit varies by plan. CMS sets a maximum ceiling that plans cannot exceed, though many plans set their caps lower than that ceiling.
Medicare doesn't publicly score plans on prior authorization burden, so there's no official ranking. However, prior authorization requirements vary by plan and change yearly. Checking a plan's Evidence of Coverage document is the most reliable way to understand how often authorizations are required.
If your doctors stop accepting your plan, you may need to switch plans during an enrollment period, find new doctors within your network, or pay higher out-of-network costs, depending on your plan type.
Yes, most Medicare Advantage plans require prior authorization for many services. This means the plan must approve the care before you receive it, or the claim may be denied.
No. Intermountain Health has many clinics and facilities across Utah, and not every location accepts every Medicare Advantage plan. You need to verify each specific provider and location.
Most Utah Medicare Advantage plans cover emergency and urgent care anywhere in the U.S., but routine care outside Utah typically requires you to be in the plan's service area. Coverage rules vary by plan type and carrier, so check your plan documents before traveling.
