Utah's Medicaid program delivers care to hundreds of thousands of residents through managed care organizations — private companies that contract with the state to coordinate and pay for health services. This bill requires the state's Division of Integrated Healthcare to build and maintain a publicly searchable online dashboard by the end of 2026, updated quarterly, showing how Medicaid dollars are being spent across each managed care plan, including breakdowns by service type, provider, prescription drug, and emergency room use. It also requires managed care organizations to submit to the state any reports or disclosures they file with the federal government, and to formally identify, report, and repay any improper payments — meaning payments that were duplicated, unsupported by medical records, paid to ineligible providers, or otherwise made in error — on a quarterly basis, along with a corrective action plan to fix the underlying problems. The department must post these improper payment reports publicly, and companies that are terminated from Medicaid for noncompliance cannot re-enter the program for five years.
