Health Care coverage for Vermonters: Vermont Health Access Plan: The mission of the Office of Vermont Health Access (OVHA) is to provide access to health care to all Vermonters who are eligible for coverage through our programs. OVHA's goals are to:

• improve access to primary care and necessary drugs;
• increase the use of preventive health care services;
• create a medical home for beneficiaries; and
• provide services in the most cost-efficient way and in the least restrictive setting possible.

Benefits Check Up: The National Council on Aging offers a free screening of possible program benefits that are available to people 55 and older. "BenefitsCheckUp" helps people find programs that may pay for some of the costs of prescription drugs, health care, utilities, and other essential items or services.

Go to www.benefitscheckup.org to get an overview of federal and state benefits.

Please contact your local Council on Aging, at 1-800-642-5119 for further discussion of what Vermont Benefits you may be eligible for. Check out the Vermont Agency for Human Services web page to learn more about state services at: www.ahs.state.vt.us/services/Index.htm
