About Us
Our History
Virginia Health Options was established in 2014 to provide support to organizations implementing the Affordable Care Act. In 2016, Virginia Health Options became VHO, Inc., a 501c3 nonprofit organization. This change allowed VHO, Inc to receive grants under the Ryan White Care Act and to provide services to low-income HIV positive people living in Washington DC, five counties in Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia.
In addition, each year, during the Open Enrollment Period we also provide support to Virginia ADAP clients enrolling in ACA Marketplace Health Insurance.
We continue to look for and evaluate the potential for expanding our scope of programs and working with other populations who could benefit from our expertise and support. If you are interested, please visit our Health Care Provider information and contact us to determine whether working with VHO would bring added value to your clients and business.
