We understand that getting or understanding health insurance can feel hard, so we have trained people in your community that can help you. They are called Assisters. They are professionals who are trained and certified by Department of Vermont Health Access to help Vermonters understand and enroll in health coverage in-person, over-the-phone, or virtually through Vermont Health Connect or Green Mountain Care. They can answer questions, walk you through an application, and if you allow it, communicate directly with Vermont Health Connect on your behalf.
The organizations on the list below have certified Assisters on staff. They assist Vermonters who are existing patients or clients. Please call the organization ahead of your visit to see if they are accepting new clients and to schedule an appointment.
♦ — Organizations marked with a diamond ♦ are Navigator Organizations - they will accept anybody, even if you've never been there.
$ — Organizations marked with a dollar sign $ are Insurance Brokers - they charge a fee for their services.
