Medicare Special Needs Plans in Utah
Every Special Needs Plan in Utah for 2027, from the CMS plan landscape file. You can join one only if you fit its group: Medicare and Medicaid (D-SNP), a qualifying chronic condition (C-SNP) or nursing-home-level care (I-SNP). Pick your county to see the plans sold there.
Showing all 18 plans.
D-SNPs: Medicare and Medicaid
Sorted by CMS star rating, then by how closely the plan is integrated with Utah Medicaid, then by worst-case year. If Medicaid or the QMB program pays your Medicare cost sharing, the out-of-pocket maximum matters less than the network and how well the plan works with Medicaid.

Worst-case year = 12 × monthly plan premium + in-network maximum out-of-pocket, for covered Part A and B services. Many D-SNP members pay $0 in premiums with Extra Help. Star ratings are CMS’s 2027 overall ratings for the contract behind each plan. Plans under CMS sanction aren’t listed. How we sort
Before you enroll: check the plan’s network and drug list in the official Medicare Plan Finder, and ask the plan whether you qualify. Free one-on-one help: your State Health Insurance Assistance Program.
