The State is committed to providing small businesses with the support needed to enroll their employees in Vermont Health Connect. Just as today, all businesses will be able use a broker to enroll in a company health plan, whether it’s through Vermont Health Connect or not. Businesses that use Vermont Health Connect to enroll in company health plans will have the additional option of using in-person assisters called Navigators to walk them through the process. Both registered brokers and certified Navigators will be fully trained on Vermont Health Connect.
The State has received federal grant funding to subsidize traditional broker fee payments to support small businesses that want to continue their relationship with their broker. The funding may be utilized to subsidize broker assistance for small group employers with a January 1, 2014 renewal date. In January 2013, the State also received a federal grant to fund the Navigator program.
