Upgrade delayed for Vermont health care website

A plan to upgrade the Vermont Health Connect website to allow users to make small changes to their health insurance accounts is being delayed while officials try to make sure it will work properly. The state’s contractor for the website was supposed to have the change-of-function live on the health insurance website by May 21, which was later pushed back to this week. The system will be delayed further while it is tested. Currently, corrections and changes to insurance applications are processed by hand. There is a backlog of 10,000 applications awaiting changes. The state is planning to bring in another contractor to help clear up the backlog. (AP)
