Hello Hardwick Families,
Good morning everyone. Don’t ask me why but for some reason I can’t sleep in on Saturday mornings. I seem to enjoy getting up before the sun and easing my way into the day knowing that I can relax and attend to other things in my life besides work. This time of year that means a lot of inside projects like painting and cleaning. Anyway, I hope you all had a good week, even with the sloppy weather we experienced. One upside to it is that we can continue to enjoy the outdoor sports that Vermont is famous for. One way to do that is by joining the Hardwick Trails Committee this morning at 9:00 AM over at the Hazen Trails. They will outfit you with Cross Country Skis for free and even give you lessons should you need them.
Have a great weekend!
Thank you,
William Deiss

Important Medicaid update for Vermonters!Vermonters currently enrolled in Medicaid and Dr. Dynasaur will once again see renewal notices in their mailboxes. The renewal process has been on pause since March 2020. States have been required to keep people on Medicaid with a few exceptions. It has helped protect people from breaks in health insurance coverage and access to care. This is changing. Vermont is preparing for the end of this requirement. It is known as the Medicaid unwind process. The "unwind" is when states restart the Medicaid renewal process for members. This process will happen gradually and be spread out over a 12-month period.
Starting in April, we will contact Vermonters when it is time for them to renew. If a customer is no longer eligible for Medicaid, they will get a notice. The notice will tell them why they are no longer eligible or if more information is needed. If no longer eligible, they will learn how to apply for other health insurance with financial help. Many Vermonters who can’t get Medicaid may be able to get a plan for less than $25 a month through Vermont Health Connect. The Medicaid unwind process for all Vermonters will take just over a year to complete. This process will impact the following Vermont Medicaid programs:
