Tax Credits
How do I find out if I qualify for a premium tax credit in 2023?
Vermonters can use the Vermont Health Connect Plan Comparison Tool starting mid-October, 2022, to compare plans for 2023. Open enrollment for 2023 plans begins November 1, 2022.
You can also contact Vermont Health Connect by phone at 1-855-899-9600 or online.
Can I combine the premium tax credit with other state or federal financial support?
Yes, the premium tax credits may be coupled with other subsidies from the state and federal government to further lower premiums and reduce out-of-pocket costs.
What if I already purchased health insurance directly through BCBSVT or MVP for 2022?
Right now, approximately 5,500 Vermonters are currently enrolled in a family or individual plan directly through BCBSVT or MVP.
Are you one of these 5,500 Vermonters? If so, you could still save money in 2022 if you meet the eligibility requirements.
When would I receive the premium tax credit?
If you are eligible for the premium tax credit, you can choose to receive it in advance, which will reduce what you pay in premiums each month, or at the end of the year when you file taxes. You may also combine these options. More details are available on the Vermont Health Connect Advance Premium Tax Credit page.
