Oregon FHP: How to Apply for Family Health Plus

For adults whose income is too high to qualify for Medicaid, the largest source of funding dedicated to medical and health-related services for people in the United States who have limited income, finding affordable insurance can be challenging. Family Health Plus is just one name for a state-run public health insurance program available to adults aged 19 to 64 whose income precludes them from receiving Medicaid. In Oregon, such insurance is available through the Oregon Health Plan, or OHP. OHP Standard provides free or low-cost health-care coverage to Oregon residents who have limited income, are age 19 and older, and who do not qualify for traditional Medicaid.
