Health Plan Report Card

Public reporting of health care information is a critical priority of the Vermont Department of Banking, Insurance, Securities and Health Care Administration. Each year, the Department publishes this health plan report card so consumers can compare the performance of health plans in Vermont to see how health plans performed during the most recent reporting period for measures of Experience of Care and Service, Preventive Care, Acute Illness Care and Chronic Illness Care.

Appealing a Denial of Benefits for an Independent External Review

If you have had services which have been denied and you think they should be covered, talk with your doctor or health care provider or call your health plan to get help understanding the plan’s decision.

If you are still not satisfied, tell your plan you want to file a complaint (grievance).  You must complete the plan's internal process.

If you are still unhappy with your plan’s decision, you may have the right to get an independent review of that decision.
