Vermont has several Prescription Assistance programs to help uninsured Vermonters and those enrolled in Medicare pay for prescription medicines — based on income, disability status and age. These programs are offered under the umbrella of Green Mountain Care.

• VPharm helps Vermonters who are enrolled in Medicare Part D to pay for prescription medicines, with an affordable monthly premium. This includes people age 65 and older as well as people of all ages with disabilities.

   

• VHAP-Pharmacy helps Vermonters age 65 and older and people with disabilities who are not enrolled in Medicare pay for eye exams and prescription medicines for short-term and long-term medical problems and includes an affordable monthly premium.

   

• VScript helps Vermonters age 65 and older and people of all ages with disabilities who are not enrolled in Medicare pay for prescription medicines for long-term medical problems. There is also an affordable monthly premium based on your income.

   

• Healthy Vermonters provides a discount on short-term and long-term prescription medicines. There are no monthly premiums and eligibility is based on your family income.
