The University of Vermont Health Network effectively dominates Vermont's hospital market, with limited competitive alternatives statewide. Vermont's all-payer ACO model and its history of near-single-payer reform have created a more price-regulated environment than most states. Prices here are relatively compressed compared to New England neighbors, but not dramatically below the regional average.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage
Setting matters too: the median outpatient price is $894 versus $666 inpatient, so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick.
None of the prices above are what you'll necessarily owe: your deductible, out-of-pocket maximum, and each provider's network status all still apply.
| Your situation | Estimated out-of-pocket |
|---|---|
| Deductible not yet met | ~$894 |
| Deductible met - 20% coinsurance | ~$179 |
| Out-of-network provider | $1,967+ |

Why is a glaucoma laser surgery so much cheaper at some Vermont hospitals?

In Vermont, the median cash (self-pay) price is $894 versus a median negotiated rate of $581 - about 1.5× higher.
