    Medicaid is a program that is funded by both the state and the federal government. The Utah Department of Health administers Medicaid but the Department of Workforce Services (DWS) determines someone’s qualification. Medicaid helps people with low income receive health coverage. Although Medicaid is a program meant to help people cover their medical bills, only certain groups of people qualify to receive Medicaid.
