Program overview

Vermont Medicaid is a government-funded health insurance plan for income-eligible people and people who are categorically eligible, administered by the Department of Vermont Health Access. The program covers medical care and prescription drugs and includes several specialized programs like Dr. Dynasaur for children under 19 and pregnant women, and Long-Term Care Medicaid for eligible Vermonters needing long-term care services.

Medicaid provides low-cost or free health care coverage for children, young adults under age 19, low-income adults, pregnant women, and those who are blind, disabled or age 65 or older. Eligibility is determined through income verification and categorical requirements. Vermont residents can apply year-round as there is no enrollment period for Medicaid coverage.

The program covers essential medical services including doctor visits, hospital care, preventive services, prescription medications, and specialized care. Vermont Medicaid has minimal cost-sharing requirements including $1-$3 prescription copays and $3 dental copays for some visits, with two cleanings and preventive exams free annually.

Applicants should be prepared for a thorough eligibility review process that examines household income, assets, and residency status. The application can be completed online or by phone at 1-855-899-9600 Monday through Friday from 8am to 4:30pm. Processing times vary, but applicants will receive notification of their eligibility determination and next steps for enrollment if approved.
