Vermont H0719 allows hospitals and health systems to collaborate on initiatives that align with state health policy goals, subject to state.

Vermont H0719 proposes a framework for hospital and health system collaboration aimed at achieving state health policy goals, including cost containment, improved access to care, and quality improvement. Hospitals must seek approval from the Secretary of Human Services before collaborating, with the Secretary reviewing the proposed collaboration and its alignment with state goals. Approved collaborations are granted state action immunity from federal and state antitrust laws.
