Starting May 6, 2026, this bill would require the Utah Department of Health and Human Services to pay University of Utah Hospitals and Clinics and its physician groups Medicare rates — the standardized rates used by the federal Medicare program, generally lower than standard billed rates — for outpatient medical services provided to prison inmates. Any savings generated by paying these lower rates would be split, with half deposited into a newly created Inmate Medical Treatment Restricted Account, which could only be spent by the Division of Correctional Health Services on purposes the department approves and with sign-off from the Legislature's Social Services Appropriations Subcommittee, while the other half would go to the state's General Fund. The department would be required to report annually to two legislative committees detailing the amount of savings generated and how money in the restricted account has been used.
