The percentage of Vermonters age 1-17 with Medicaid insurance who received recommended and preventive care stayed the same between 2011 and 2012.

Increasing access to preventive health services is an important goal because it means that Vermonters are receiving support, resources and care early on, in order to reduce more costly and more serious health problems later in life.

This measure is a composite from the All Payer Claims Database; it is measured consistently across all insurers. The data displayed here includes both well child and adolescent well care visit rates for children insured by Medicaid. As Vermont moves forward with the Blueprint for Health program and its integrated patient centered medical home and community health team model of care, this data can be an indicator of our success.
