COLCHESTER, Vt. \u2013 OneCare Vermont (OneCare) has been recognized by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as a 501(c)(3) organization operated for non-profit purposes.<\/p>\n
OneCare filed an application with the IRS seeking 501(c)(3) status, in recognition of its commitment to supporting Vermont\u2019s health care delivery and payment reform efforts. This designation by the IRS that OneCare and its provider partners are acting in furtherance of non-profit purposes is a major milestone for the organization, and a testament to the organization\u2019s commitment to transparency and value based reform efforts.<\/p>\n
Vicki Loner, RN.C, OneCare CEO, said, \u201cOneCare has always operated in the spirit of a non-profit organization in alignment with its non-profit founders and many of its participating organizations.
