Patient Advocates for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont - Find one today.
Supporting and empowering BCBS patients in Vermont.
Vermont Blue Advantage promises comprehensive coverage for Vermonters, but their small-state operations can mean limited resources when you need help. Don't let Vermont's friendly reputation fool you—getting complex treatments approved still requires knowing exactly who to call and what to say. Your Solace advocate speaks Vermont BCBS's language fluently.
Best of all, most patients pay nothing out of pocket.

About
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont operates Vermont Blue Advantage PPO and HMO plans designed specifically for Vermont residents. As a smaller state plan, they offer personalized service with local customer support and region-specific benefits. Their plans include comprehensive coverage with dental, vision, hearing benefits, and quarterly over-the-counter allowances. Vermont BCBS also partners with other New England Blue plans for prescription drug coverage through Blue MedicareRx. While their local focus can be an advantage, it also means fewer resources for complex appeals and limited experience with unusual cases.

BCBS of Vermont Appeals with a Patient Advocate
BCBS of Vermont's appeals process combines Medicare's federal requirements with Vermont's specific healthcare regulations. As a smaller plan, they have fewer internal reviewers and may take longer to process complex appeals. Their partnership with other New England Blue plans for prescription benefits can also create confusion about who handles which type of denial.
Your Solace advocate knows Vermont BCBS's limited but specific procedures inside and out. They understand which appeals stay in-state versus which get handled by their New England partnership, and they know how to escalate cases that need faster resolution. They'll work with Vermont BCBS's medical directors directly when needed and coordinate with their prescription drug partners to resolve coverage disputes quickly.
For Vermont residents, having an advocate who understands both the benefits and limitations of a smaller state plan can make all the difference in getting timely, effective appeal results.
