Vermont Medicaid Plans
Looking for Vermont Medicaid managed care options? Vermont’s Medicaid program, known as Green Mountain Care, provides health coverage for low-income individuals and families across the state. This guide breaks down your coverage options, including how Medicaid is administered in Vermont and where to get more help if you’re navigating the system for the first time.
🌲 How Medicaid Works in Vermont
Unlike many other states, Vermont primarily uses a statewide managed care-like structure operated by the Department of Vermont Health Access (DVHA). Rather than offering multiple MCOs, Vermont contracts with a single entity to manage services across the state. That means all Medicaid members are enrolled in a uniform system — though care may be coordinated through local providers or Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs).
This approach simplifies enrollment and provider networks but still provides access to essential benefits like doctor visits, mental health care, hospital services, and prescriptions. Some members may also be covered under the Vermont Premium Assistance Program or specialized waiver programs.
