The Vermont Medicaid Program Covers:
More than 65,000 of our friends and neighbors are uninsured in Vermont. When you are uninsured, you can’t always afford to go to the doctor when you need to and minor health issues can turn into major problems.
The state of Vermont believes every Vermonter should have access to the coverage they need to stay healthy. Through Green Mountain Care, we’re working to make sure uninsured Vermonters are aware of their health coverage options.
Who can enroll?
Eligibility is based on your income and resources (e.g., cash, bank accounts, etc.). In some cases, Vermonters enrolled in Medicare may also be eligible for Medicaid.
What services are covered?
Medicaid covers most health care services such as doctor visits, hospital care, prescription medicines, vision and dental care, long-term care, physical therapy and more.
How much does it cost?
Medicaid is a low-cost program and fees may include co-payments of $3 for outpatient visits, prescription medicines and dentist visits. Children, pregnant women and people in nursing facilities never have to pay co-payments.
