- Catamount Health provides quality health coverage at a reasonable cost, no matter how much you earn. You may also get help paying your premiums based on your income. It is designed for Vermonters age 18 or older and families who are not eligible for other state programs such as Medicaid, Medicare, or Vermont Health Access Plan AND who have been uninsured for 12 months or more OR have recently lost their insurance because of a life change such as a divorce or loss of a job.
- Dr. Dynasaur provides no or low-cost health coverage for children, teenagers under age 18 , and pregnant women. Eligibility is based on family income. Income guidelines are based on your family size.
- Employer-Sponsored Insurance Premium Assistance helps uninsured Vermonters to pay for their employer's health insurance premiums if they meet all of the following criteria: 1) they are eligible to enroll in Catamount Health or the Vermont Health Access Plan (VHAP); 2) their income is less than or equal to $2,718* a month for one person (higher for larger households); 3) their employer's plan has comprehensive benefits and have not yet enrolled; and 4) it is more cost-effective for the State to provide premium assistance to enroll in your employer's plan than to provide premium assistance to enroll in Catamount Health or VHAP. *You may still qualify if your monthly income is up to $200 per month higher if you have earned income and/or child care expenses (higher for larger households).
