The Department of Vermont Health Access (DVHA), within the State of Vermont's Agency of Human Services, is responsible for administering the Vermont Medicaid health insurance program and Vermont's state-based exchange for health insurance. Vermont's state-based health insurance exchange is also referred to as the health insurance marketplace. The Health Access Eligibility and Enrollment team integrates eligibility and enrollment for Medicaid and commercial health insurance plans for many of Vermont’s individuals and families. The Department coordinates a range of health insurance plan options and offers online, telephone, paper and in-person assistance for Vermonters who are applying for health insurance. It is important to know that:
Medicaid was designed to provide a government-funded health insurance plan for income-eligible people and people who are categorically eligible. The federal government establishes requirements for all states to follow but each state administers their own Medicaid program differently.
An insurance plan that is certified provides essential health benefits, follows established limits on deductibles, copayments and out-of-pocket maximum amounts, and meets other requirements of the Affordable Care Act.

If the city denies your claim, check your state law and City Code to determine whether you must appeal to the city level before filing a lawsuit in court. Some states require one more appeal at the city level, but most states allow you to file a lawsuit immediately after your claim is denied.
File a notice of claim with the city you want to sue. Most state laws require a notice of claim to be filed within one or two years of the action giving rise to the claim, so make sure you check your state's deadlines and then stay on top of your deadline. Wait for the city to review and answer your notice of claim.
Even the smallest error can result in your losing your right to sue the city, so be very thorough and even repetitive if you have to. If you miss a deadline or leave out a required piece of information, you may lose the right to file a lawsuit in court.
