A survey led to the disclosure of some Vermont Health Connect and Medicaid customers' email addresses.
In total, 127 people sent emails some inadvertently and some not to other health insurance consumers amid confusion about an online survey issued July 20 through the Department of Vermont Health Access.
The department said no other personal or health information was disclosed only email addresses.
In all, that email went to about 37,000 people.
