In-state coverage
Works for bills from any Vermont provider.
Audra audits bills from every major hospital system in Vermont, including:
If your bill comes from an out-of-state provider, Audra still works — federal protections apply nationwide.
If the provider won't budge
File a complaint with the VT Attorney General.
If your appeal letter doesn't resolve the bill within 30 days, escalate to the Vermont Attorney General — Consumer Assistance Program. They have authority to investigate billing complaints and, in some cases, subpoena provider records.
Stop paying what you don't owe.
Your first audit is free. After that, $30 per bill, or $15/mo for up to 25 audits/month.
