West Valley, Magna, Kearns and Taylorsville have the full Salt Lake County menu, Jordan Valley Medical Center close by, and a large share of the valley’s dual-eligible households.
What to know before you compare plans in Salt Lake County
West-side residents have Salt Lake County’s broad Advantage menu, every Medigap carrier in Utah and the full Part D lineup. Jordan Valley (Holy Cross), Intermountain Medical Center and St. Mark’s each contract differently, and many west-side families qualify for both Medicare and Utah Medicaid, which makes Dual Special Needs Plans part of the conversation.
