Vermont Health Connect Participating in Events across the State to Spread the Word about the New Insurance Marketplace

Vermont Health Connect Navigators and officials are participating in and hosting upcoming events to talk to Vermonters about new health coverage options. More than 200 Navigators are available in communities throughout the state to help Vermonters learn more, enroll in a plan, and access financial help through Vermont Health Connect. Small employers and their employees can also turn to Navigators for help in determining their best health coverage options.
Vermont Health Connect offers a new way for Vermonters to find a health plan that fits their needs and budget. Vermonters can compare plans side-by-side, determine if they are eligible for public plans and, for many, access financial help to lower the cost of their plans. Assistance is available on-line, by phone, or in-person.
