Personalized care for

To best serve LGBTQ+ Vermonters,
You First is partnered with the
Pride Center of Vermont to ensure
every member is connected to a
provider that they are comfortable with
and can talk openly with about their health.
Services include one-on-one help to find a safe and
affirming doctor, assistance getting to appointments,
and payment for eligible medical bills.
Skoug notes, “Regardless of your orientation, if
you receive a bill for a service You First pays for,
you just have to submit it to them for
payment. This includes
any covered services
received up to 90
days before you
