Individuals and Families

How you report a change depends on whether you enrolled directly through us or if you enrolled through Vermont Health Connect. It also depends on the type of change you want to make.

Enrolled Directly with BlueCross BlueShield of Vermont

If you're currently enrolled directly with us, reference the table below for how and when you can make changes.

Type of ChangeExamplesHow to Report

  • Is effective immediately; it may take up to 4 days before the change appears in the member Resource Center
  • Address, email, or phone number changes

  • Gender change

Life Changes/Events

  • Life changes in your family that impact your coverage - they are considered "qualified life events" and may entitle you to a special enrollment period
  • Must be reported within a certain time frame and the effective date is determined by the type of event
  • Add dependents due to marriage, birth, adoption, guardianship, loss of other coverage
  • Remove dependents due to divorce, obtaining other coverage, death
  1. For Life Changes/Event, we recommend seeing if you qualify for a subsidy through Vermont Health Connect
  2. If you do qualify, you can take advantage of the subsidy through Vermont Health Connect - and you can enroll in a BlueCross BlueShield of Vermont health plan.
  3. If you do not qualify for a subsidy, or do not want to take advantage of the subsidy, you can report a change by logging in to the Member Resource Center or using our Enrollment/Change form (pdf).


Enrolled in a BlueCross BlueShield of Vermont Plan through Vermont Health Connect

If you enrolled in Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont coverage through Vermont Health Connect (VHC), please report your change(s) of information to VHC.

If you qualify for special enrollment period (e.g. experience a life change/event), you have two options:

  1. Stay enrolled in your current coverage through VHC and report changes to them
  2. Direct enroll in coverage through Blue Cross of Vermont

Members enrolled in Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont coverage through Vermont Health Connect have the option to request their plan administration be transferred to Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont. This means that you would become a direct enroll member and would work directly with us for enrollment, getting bills, paying premiums, and reporting changes. It's important to note, direct enroll members are NOT eligible for any subsidies. To learn more about this option, or for any questions, please contact an exchange consultant at (800) 255-4550. They are available Monday - Friday from 8:00 a.m - 4:30 p.m.
