XVIII. MEDICAL AND MENTALHEALTH ISSUES Introduction The State of Vermont has a variety of resources available for individuals and
families to obtain medical care. See this site for more information:
http://www.greenmountaincare.org/vermont-health-insurance-plans. Vermont’s programs are not only available in the event of a disaster, but also for those having difficulty affording medical care due to situations unrelated to a disaster. Certain requirements for obtaining government benefits, such as proof of income or social security number, could possibly be waived depending on the nature and severity of a particular disaster. In addition, the following organizations may be able to provide various types of assistance following a disaster:
American Red Cross – 802-786-2189 – Rutland area VT Health Dept. 800-464-4343
www.healthvermont.gov VT Health Dept. Rutland area – 888-253-8802
Frequently Asked Questions 1.
I need medical help. How can I get it?
If you have an urgent medical condition, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
2. What if I don’t have health insurance? Can I still get medical help?
You and your family may be able to qualify for publicly funded health programs. Vermont offers Medicaid for low-income families.

I’m enrolled in Medicaid, or my child is enrolled in Dr. Dynasaur, but we had to leave our home state. Can we use our Medicaid or Dr. Dynasaur in another state?
Services provided outside Vermont may or may not be covered. For Medicaid, out-of-state medical providers must enroll with Vermont’s Medicaid to receive reimbursement and should call 1-800-250-8427 to obtain an enrollment application.
