Vermont sets expectations for insurers and binds mental health professionals, including physicians, and entities offering mental health services; from 2028 it reaches businesses outside the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Full overview and dates aheadHide full overview
Act 156, since June 17, 2026, lets a physician or other mental health professional use HIPAA-compliant AI tools if the professional reviews and approves the services, makes prohibited AI use by a licensee unprofessional conduct, and bars any entity from offering mental health services to the public, including through AI, unless a mental health professional provides them. Act 101, signed May 18, 2026, places no duty on physicians; it puts neurological rights into statute and orders recommendations on regulating AI in utilization review by Jan. 15, 2027. Bulletin 229, issued March 12, 2024, expects insurers to govern AI under a written program. Act 145, a privacy law signed June 16, 2026, exempts HIPAA covered entities and, from Jan. 1, 2028, requires consent before a health app or other non-HIPAA business sells consumer health data.
