OneCare

Top Democrats in the House and Senate say strengthening Vermont’s primary care system is top of mind this year — and they hope partly reviving an old payment reform idea could improve access.

The accountable care organization will close by the end of 2025. OneCare worked to lower health care costs and improve patient outcomes by moving away from a fee-for-service payment model.

BlueCross BlueShield of Vermont announced this week it would “pause" their relationship with OneCare Vermont. The move comes days before next year's contract was set to go into effect.
