Program overview

The Oregon Health Plan (OHP) is Oregon's Medicaid program that provides comprehensive health coverage for low-income individuals and families. As Oregon's version of Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), OHP offers essential medical services including doctor visits, hospital care, prescription drugs, mental health services, dental care, and long-term care services. The program operates through coordinated care organizations (CCOs) that manage member benefits and coordinate care across providers.

To qualify for OHP, applicants must meet both income and residency requirements. Income limits vary by household size and are based on federal poverty guidelines - generally up to 138% of the federal poverty level for most adults, with higher limits for pregnant women and children. Applicants must be Oregon residents and either U.S. citizens or qualified immigrants. Unlike many insurance programs, OHP has no enrollment periods and accepts applications year-round, making it accessible whenever families need coverage.

OHP covers a comprehensive range of services including preventive care, emergency services, prescription medications, mental health and substance abuse treatment, maternity care, pediatric services, and home and community-based services for eligible individuals. For seniors and people with disabilities, OHP can supplement Medicare coverage by paying for services Medicare doesn't cover, including long-term care services that help people remain in their homes or communities.

When applying for OHP, it's important to provide complete and accurate information about your household composition, income, assets, and current health insurance. The application process typically takes up to 45 days for most applicants, though disability-related applications may take longer. Applicants can check their application status online, and if approved, must select a coordinated care organization and begin receiving services. Remember to report any changes in income, household size, or address promptly to maintain your benefits and ensure you receive the correct level of coverage.
