§ 1826. Blueprint for Health
(a) It is the intent of the General Assembly that within five years following the implementation of Green Mountain Care, each individual enrolled in Green Mountain Care will have a primary health care professional who is involved with the Blueprint for Health established in 18 V.S.A. chapter 13.
(b) Consistent with the provisions of 18 V.S.A. chapter 13, if an individual enrolled in Green Mountain Care does not have a medical home through the Blueprint for Health, the individual may choose a primary health care professional who is not participating in the Blueprint to serve as the individual’s primary care point of contact.
(c) The Agency shall determine a method to approve a specialist as a patient’s primary health care professional for the purposes of establishing a medical home or primary care point of contact for the patient. The Agency shall approve a specialist as a patient’s medical home or primary care point of contact on a case-by-case basis and only for a patient who receives the majority of his or her health care from that specialist.
(d) Green Mountain Care shall be integrated with the Blueprint for Health established in 18 V.S.A. chapter 13. (Added 2011, No. 48, § 4.)
