Oregon Health Care Plan Description

The Oregon Health Plan or OHP assists low-income Oregon residents by providing them with free or inexpensive health care coverage. The different plans offered are on an individual basis, and are determined by your current personal financial status.

Enrollment

• In order for applicants to qualify for OHP, they cannot be eligible for any other Medicaid programs, and they must be low-income individuals who reside in the state of Oregon. People aged 19 through 65 will enroll in the Standard Oregon Health Plan unless they receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), or are pregnant or disabled. These people will need to enroll in the OHP Plus program, and all children under age 19 enroll into the Healthy Kids Program.

Benefits

• Each person will have different levels of coverage based upon age, finances, disability status and pregnancy. Some of the different prospective services covered are check-ups, physician services, maternity and neonatal care, family planning and newborn care, medical prescriptions and vision and dental care. Hospital and hospice visits may also be covered along with mental health services and approved alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs.

Documentation

• Applicants are required to provide copies of certain documents to verify identity and income to begin the application process. These documents include proof of income, proof of citizenship, any insurance cards you or a family member has, proof of pregnancy/due date, copies of student aid reports and proof of Native American status if applicable.
