Patient Financial Assistance & Affordable Medical Care in Vermont

Health clinics and low-cost health care in Vermont for people with no health insurance or limited insurance

Did you know?: A new patient financial assistance law has been in effect for hospitals since July 1, 2024.

Finding low-cost health care

All hospitals and some health clinics in Vermont offer free or low-cost medical care. You can find a list of these places below. The list is organized by county.

Not sure what county you live in? Check this list of towns to find your county. And see this map showing Vermont’s 14 counties.

Once you find a clinic or hospital on this list where you want to get care, you should call and ask: Are you accepting new patients?

If they say no, you can ask to be put on the waitlist. You can also try calling other nearby clinics or hospitals.

Note: You can apply for financial assistance at any hospital, regardless of where you live in Vermont.

Paying for low-cost health care

All clinics and hospitals on the list below offer financial assistance. You may have to ask about it.

You will need to fill out an application. You do not need a social security number to apply. You can apply regardless of your immigration or citizenship status. They will ask for proof of income. For example, they might ask for a paystub, your most recent tax return, or something else. If you don’t have proof, you can write a note about your income and then sign it. This is called an “attestation.”

You can download the financial assistance application for the hospital or clinic by clicking on the “Apply” link. If you do not have a printer, call the hospital or clinic. Ask them to mail you a paper copy. Or call the Vermont Office of the Health Care Advocate for help at 1-800-917-7787.
