Participate

If you want the benefit of all your providers having your medical record, you don’t need to do anything. If your providers participate, your records are shared on the Vermont Health Information Exchange.

Don’t participate

You can choose to not have your records shared with providers. This is called opting out. If you opt-out, your record will still be stored in the Health Information Exchange, but your providers will not be able to see it, except in emergency situations. You can opt-out by filling out an online or print form or by calling the VITL hotline at 1-888-980-1243.
