SCHENECTADY, NY, October 24, 2018–As consumers across Vermont continue to face concerns and confusion over the cost and availability of health care, MVP Health Care is expanding and introducing innovative new products designed to improve health care access and affordability for individuals, groups, and Medicare members. By working closely with both members and providers, MVP is actively seeking to bring quality, affordable health care to people throughout the state.
“We are increasing members’ access to health care and helping consumers manage costs by meeting members wherever they are physically and wherever they are in life,” said Denise Gonick, MVP Health Care’s CEO. “Our new and expanded products for 2019 help us achieve these goals and offer members more access and more ability to control their costs.”
In Vermont, MVP’s individual and small group plans are once again the lowest cost options available. With a strong commitment to the Green Mountain State, MVP is also expanding Medicare Advantage programs throughout the state, giving Vermonters a new choice for Medicare.
Some of the new and expanded products available to MVP members in 2019 include:
- A full continuum of plan options for individuals, families, and employers. MVP has solutions for business of all sizes with plans that include pharmacy benefits, spending account options, and wellness programs that help employers take control of health care costs. Individuals and families can find affordable health plan options for any budget—with access to top doctors and facilities, online tools to help calculate health care costs and subsidy eligibility. MVP also offers Medicare Advantage plans throughout Vermont starting at $0 per month that include more coverage, more benefits, and more extras.
- New Vermont Reflective Silver plans for both individuals and businesses are similar to the base Silver plans but offered directly through MVP at a lower premium than the base Silver plans. These plans are ideal for individuals and businesses who are not eligible for a subsidy or tax credit.
- myVisitNow®—24/7 Online Doctor Visits makes it easier to access a wide range of health care services including urgent care, behavioral health, psychiatry, and nutrition and lactation counseling – through a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a webcam anytime, anywhere in the U.S.
- Making information about, and access to, health care easier for all Vermonters is an important objective for MVP. Once again this year, MVP will send its Mobile Enrollment Center throughout Vermont. Mobile Enrollment Centers bring MVP to the community and offer an opportunity for people to discuss their family’s health care options in a confidential and convenient environment (see schedule below). Similarly, to make health care information more accessible, MVP has a “retail” space in its Williston office (62 Merchants Row) for walk-in visitors.
“MVP’s growth in Vermont over the last year is a testament to the low cost and high quality programs we are providing as well as our outreach throughout the state. Vermonters have really responded to these programs. We are thrilled to play a growing and important role in the health of so many in Vermont,” said Gonick.
