Utah Medicaid Information Systems:
Access Now, ANSI 270, and ANSI 276

For use by Utah Medicaid Providers ONLY

Medicaid has two information systems available for use by providers with no access charges:  Access Now, a touch tone telephone eligibility line, and the ANSI 270 and the ANSI 276, an indirect connection to the Medicaid computer system.

Access Now
Use a touch tone telephone to operate Access Now.  It provides information on patient eligibility, patient restrictions, other insurance coverage, MCP enrollment, and Primary Care Provider information, when applicable.   Instructions for use of Access Now are available from Medicaid.

In the Salt Lake City area, call 801-538-6155.

In Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada, call toll-free 1-800-662-9651.

From other states, call 1-801-538-6155.

ANSI 270 and ANSI 276
These two HIPAA compliant transactions provide client eligibility and claim status for providers who are members of the Utah Health Information Network (UHIN).

To use these tools:

  • Obtain a Trading Partner Number (TPN) from UHIN or call (801) 466-7705.
  • Use the online EDI enrollment form to register your TPN with Medicaid.
  • Use the free software from UHIN (or any HIPAA compliant software) to transmit your request.
  • After two hours use your software to retrieve the Medicaid response to your query.
