On February 9, 2023, the Utah Insurance Department issued Bulletin 2023-1(a) to address concerns that some insurers had not been following the required standards for identification cards. Of particular concern to the department was that some identification cards did not include the “State Regulated” wording required under Utah’s rules.
The bulletin also announced the adoption of the Utah Health Information Network uniform standards for identification cards, which are to be effective for all policies or certificates issued or renewed on or after July 1, 2023.
Although the bulletin is primarily directed at carriers, employers that sponsor insured plans may want to be aware of this guidance.
