VEHI - Vermont Education Health Initiative
What is VEHI?
The Vermont Education Health Initiative (VEHI) is a large, non-profit purchaser of health care plans for Vermont's school employees. This self-funded trust is managed jointly by the Vermont School Boards Insurance Trust (VSBIT) and the Vermont-National Education Association (Vermont-NEA). Claims administration and related services are currently purchased from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont.

The VEHI Dental Program began on July 1, 2000, with approximately 3,550 subscribers and has since grown to include approximately 8,290 employees in 205 schools. Five basic plan options are available through the VEHI/Northeast Delta Dental (NEDD) Program, however, school districts which purchase dental coverage directly with Delta Dental are able to enroll in the VEHI Program with their existing plan. 

VEHI's Dental Program continues to be successful. The program remains financially sound and premiums continue to be lower than those obtained directly from Delta Dental.
