BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Vermonters who were forced to pay out of pocket for care and prescriptions that Medicaid covers are finally seeing some relief.
A massive cyberattack on UnitedHealth Group and Change Healthcare, a medical payment processor, knocked out services for three weeks.
But United said Thursday that it is finally back online.
However, Vermont officials said Wednesday they expect there will still be some lingering issues to work out.
