Vermont Blue Advantage will no longer offer any Medicare Advantage plans in the state for 2026.

On October 1, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont announced Vermont Blue Advantage would not continue coverage for the 26,000 people in the state on its individual Medicare Advantage plans for next year. The company is also ending all existing employer-sponsored retiree plans.

Whether the company will return to Vermont’s insurance landscape in the future, “depends on whether market conditions improve, or new opportunities open that would enable Vermont Blue Advantage to offer sustainable and competitive plans,” Andrew Garland, a vice president and spokesperson for the insurer, told VTDigger.
