Our Philosophy
At Health Choice Utah, we are committed to a collaborative approach with physicians,
hospitals and all other providers in the medical communities of Davis, Salt Lake, Utah and Weber
counties.
Our team brings an open vision to Utah. We believe that those who provide care should
be the leaders in creating and constructing new, better and less invasive mechanisms
for the delivery of the care they provide. We are provider-owned and we understand
both the rewards and difficulties of managed care and health plan/provider relationships.
We believe our members deserve the highest quality medical care while being treated
with both compassion and respect. Assisting you so that you can devote your time
to providing quality patient care is one of our highest priorities. Our commitment
to you is to support the doctor-patient relationship by streamlining the delivery
of care.
We are inviting Utah physicians, hospitals and ancillary providers who have a proven
track record of delivering quality, compassionate care to become part of the Health
Choice family.
What We Offer Our Physician Network
Health Choice Utah brings the expertise and road maps necessary to understand, participate
in and maximize the value of the sweeping changes affecting the delivery of health
care.
We offer real-time tools, technology and up-to-date information to our physicians
and providers. We will assist and offer guidance to physicians and hospitals for
the purpose of building partnerships in the form of Accountable Care Organizations
(ACO), patient-centered medical homes and other entities that will maximize quality
and reward performance.
How We Assist Your Practice
- We are committed to providing you with tools to help you effectively and efficiently
manage the care of the individuals you serve through Health Choice Utah.
- Our medical director, Arlen K. Jarrett, M.D., FACOG, is not an insurance administrator.
Dr. Jarrett is a practicing physician in Utah and he understands the daily concerns
and issues you face every day.
- We work closely with your team to streamline and expedite prior authorization by
minimizing the number of procedures requiring prior authorization. Many of the items
still on our abbreviated prior authorization list ask for notification only.
- Our Transition of Care Program is unique to the industry. Upon hospital discharge,
we initiate an interdisciplinary plan of care which can include assessment of home
care needs, follow-up with home care providers, medication reconciliation, scheduling
and transition to case management and disease management.
- Customer service is the fabric our organization. Our internal infrastructure is
designed to provide your patients speedy access to customer service representatives
and to expedite claims processing.
