Overview

Mission

Virginia health options (vho) works to expand access to healthcare among low-income individuals, individuals with special medical needs, and other underserved populations who have experienced barriers obtaining, understanding and effectively using health insurance and health services.

What it reported doing in 2024

VHO ACCOMPLISHES ITS MISSION BY ADVISING INDIVIDUALS REGARDING THEIR AVAILABLE OPTIONS FOR INSURANCE PROGRAMS - EMPLOYER-BASED, ACA INSURANCE, MEDICAID OR MEDICARE - AND HELPING INDIVIDUALS ENROLL IN HEALTHCARE PROGRAMS AND HELPING INDIVIDUALS UNDERSTAND HOW TO USE THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE EFFECTIVELY. VHO ALSO ACTS AS A LINK BETWEEN GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND PROVIDERS IN THE COMMUNITY TO ENSURE THAT INDIVIDUALS ELIGIBLE FOR SPECIAL PROGRAMS ARE PROPERLY ENROLLED AND SERVED.VHO also manages a growing program that expands the population of People Living with HIV (PLWH) served in clinics to private infectious disease practices in Northern Virginia. VHOs role is to ensure that eligible Ryan White clients in these practices have access to Case Management (both non-medical and medical case management), out-patient ambulatory health services (OAHS), health insurance copay and deductible assistance, medical transportation, emergency assistance through food vouchers, and access to mental health services and referrals to other support services (eg: Oral Health, Housing). Since March 2016 the Nexus program client population has increased from 32 clients to 287.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 99% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
