Employees and their family members who are not yet enrolled in health coverage may still enroll in coverage through the Federal Marketplace (www.healthcare.gov), until Feb. 15, 2015.

University of Utah Hospitals and Clinics will be hosting four additional Health Insurance Marketplace Fairs for employees to talk with vendors about available plans. It is anticipated that Arches Health Plan, BridgeSpan, Humana and Molina Healthcare will have representatives in attendance at all four meetings.

Thursday, Jan. 8, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. in the Red Rock Conference Room (hospital A level)
Friday, Jan. 9, 1– 3 p.m. in the HR Large Conference Room (fifth floor near A elevators)

Thursday, Feb. 5, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. in the Red Rock Conference Room (hospital A level)

At the fair, vendors can assist in understanding the federal requirements, researching available health insurance options, evaluating potential tax credits and applying for coverage.
