Unfortunately, the Vermont Department of Health estimates 4 out of 10 people in our county are underinsured and 26% of all uninsured individuals throughout the state call southwest Vermont home'. BVHC's designation as an FQHC is unique as it is a one-stop comprehensive health center - even for those with difficulty paying for health services - thanks to enhanced Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates which help bridge the gap.

A few years ago I was sent out being told "not to be nervous " but that I had a heart attack or was ready to have one.......$5,000.00 later, one very frightened husband that was called along with the ambulance before I even knew it and what was wrong? I pulled my back coughing.... The PA was pointing at my atrium, when I know to look at elsewhere on the EKG strip ......long story short. PA was dismissed and I have had nothing but excellent care from Dr. Van for the past several years. Thanks doc because you were the one who made this right for me ,after such an incompetent experience. Thanks for

They made me aware of programs and cost reductions that my old dentist never suggested. And unlike my old dentist they are in network which is going to save me over a $1000 dollars next year. And they are as competent a bunch as my old office - I have yet to see any downside to moving to this new practice.
