Vermont posts RFP for NAVIGATOR ORGANIZATION GRANTS

The mission of Vermont Health Connect is to provide all Vermonters with the knowledge and tools needed to compare and choose a quality, affordable and comprehensive health plan. Although many Vermonters will use the Vermont Health Connect website to independently find, compare, and self-enroll in Qualified Health Plans (QHPs) or public health programs, individuals will also have the option to access support on the phone through the call center, either facilitating their ability to self-enroll on the website or allowing them to complete the entire application process on the phone. Still, a large number of individuals will require in-person assistance to learn about Vermont Health Connect and apply for health coverage. Vermont Health Connect will provide this in-person assistance through its Navigator Program. “Navigators” are Vermonters who will be trained and certified to provide free in-person health coverage enrollment assistance. They will also play a key role in Vermont Health Connect’s outreach and education in communities across the state, working to make sure that both individuals and small businesses know what changes are coming and can access the tools and resources they need. In order to maximize Navigators’ impact and ensure accountability, Navigators will be managed by entities selected by Vermont Health Connect to be “Navigator Organizations.”
