Instructions and Forms
The 2023 Utah Open Enrollment Survey is a data call specifically for Utah’s individual, small group, and large group comprehensive hospital & medical markets. The purpose of this survey is to measure what the enrollment of Utah’s individual, small group, and large group markets was during open enrollment as of January 1, 2023.
Who is required to file?
All Fraternal, Health, Life and Property & Casualty insurers in Utah with Comprehensive Hospital & Medical (Major Medical) business in either the Individual or Small Group or Large Group Markets are required to complete and file this survey. All other insurers are exempt. The completed survey form should be sent to the Utah Insurance Department by February 24, 2023. Failure to file by the deadline may subject your company to the enforcement penalties under Utah Code § 31A-2-308.
General Instructions
Please review the instructions and new survey form carefully so that you will understand how to report your data. This will reduce the number of corrections after the survey is filed. However, as always we will work with you to understand and file the survey form.
The Utah Insurance Department will only accept electronic submissions of the Utah Open Enrollment Survey as an Excel spreadsheet via the UID secure file upload website at https://forms.uid.utah.gov/fileUploads/. All survey files should be uploaded to the “Health Research” folder. Do not use another folder to submit your files.
Any other forms of data submission are not acceptable. Also, do not make any changes to the formatting of the Excel survey form. This file is designed to allow us to import your data directly into a software database while attempting to remain “user friendly”. Any changes to the line numbers, columns, or other parts of the survey form (other than simple data entry) may cause errors when we import your survey form.
Please remember each insurer is required to file a complete survey. In cases where your company has nothing to report, answer with a “0” rather than leaving a section blank. To make this easier, we have pre-populated the survey with sample data, so that you can change just the sections that are applicable to your company. This includes providing a contact person, with correct contact information, including a valid telephone number and email address.
Please note that all data in the survey form should be whole numbers. The use of decimals creates rounding errors when the data is processed.
Also, please only submit one company per Excel form. Filings with multiple companies in multiple Excel sheets will not import correctly.
