Fee-for-Service Members

Medicaid members may be referred to and enrolled in the Restriction Program. This program provides safeguards against inappropriate and excessive use of Medicaid services. Utah Medicaid (Fee For Service) Restriction staff uses the guidelines found in R414-29 opens in a new tab to determine if a member should be in the Restriction Program.

Fee for Service Members selected for enrollment are informed of the reasons for the issuance of a Restriction Program card. They are then restricted to one Primary Care Provider and one pharmacy. For patients in the Restriction Program, Medicaid will only pay claims for services rendered by the providers listed on the card and by providers to whom the patient has been appropriately referred. However, emergency services are not restricted.
