OneCare Vermont announced today that they will be granting six new waivers to their health care provider partners to alleviate Vermont’s strained hospital system and improve healthcare for Vermonters in 2023.
As an Accountable Care Organization, under the All-Payer Model, OneCare has the unique ability to petition the Federal Government to waive certain rules and regulations that stand in the way of improved health care for Vermonters. These waivers give OneCare’s provider partners flexibility and freedom from federal rules within the highly regulated health care system to work together and get people the care they need at the right time and the right place.
The waivers create more freedom for providers by allowing them to bypass Federal regulations and more quickly discharge patients from hospitals to better access to skilled nursing facilities, hospice and the Brattleboro Retreat and provide in home support for patients.
