01 — The Four Steps

Browse the full guide.

Each step is written as a self-contained reference, with a sticky table of contents and a glossary where helpful. The steps are presented in the order most patients encounter them, but each one stands on its own — patients returning to a single topic can read just that step without working through the others.
VerifyThe guide describes Utah's program at a particular point in time. Statutes, DHHS rules, fees, and procedural details may change between updates. Always confirm specific details against current state guidance, your QMP, or a pharmacy medical provider.
02 — Where to Next

Once you've worked through the steps you need, two other sections of the site extend the picture. The directory helps you find clinicians and pharmacies; the Education Hub goes deeper on specific topics introduced in the guide.
