ANNOUNCING VACEPlus RATES FOR 2023

As Vermont businesses struggle to recruit and retain talent in a competitive labor market, the VACEPlus Insurance program can help small businesses offer quality employee benefits while also enjoying the administrative flexibility and simplicity that comes from working with a local partner.

We are pleased to announce the 2023 VACE insurance plans and rates, including the addition of a new vision insurance plan! The VACE VSP plan will continue to be offered next year, with a modest rate increase, but we’ve also added a DeltaVision plan on the EyeMed network.

As in previous years, we will automatically renew VACE dental and VSP accounts and keep members in their current plan selection unless we hear otherwise. All group-level joinder forms and employee enrollment and change forms can be found on our website. www.vaceinsurance.com.

VACE will accept open enrollment changes until December 15^th, 2022. Please communicate all policy additions, terminations, and coverage changes to VACE using the appropriate forms available on our website, www.vaceinsurance.com. Most open enrollment changes will be reflected on the February invoice.
