Welcome to Yamhill
Community Care!

We are a group of all types of healthcare providers who work together for people on the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) in Yamhill County and parts of Polk and Washington Counties.

 

Get Started!

Your first step is to choose or change your Primary Care Provider (PCP) and dentist for your family. YCCO will automatically sign you up for a primary care provider when you enroll, but you have the right to stay with that provider or choose a different one. Even if you’re not sick now, you need to choose a PCP.  Call them first whenever you need care, they are your partners for good health.

  • If you don’t have a PCP, use our Provider Search to find someone who is taking new patients, then call to tell us who you have chosen.
  • Need help finding a PCP? Just give us a call, we can help!

Appeals

If we deny, stop, or reduce a service your provider asks for, we will mail you a written denial of service request. This denial is called a  Notice of Action/Adverse Benefit Determination (NOABD)  letter explaining why we made that decision. If you do not get a NOABD or your provider tells you a service has been denied and you must pay for it you can call Customer Service and ask for one to be sent to you. Once you receive it you can appeal your denial.

You, your provider with your written consent or your authorized representative have a right to ask to change it through an appeal and a state fair hearing. You must first ask for an appeal  and you must ask no more than 60 days from the date on the NOABD letter.

Reasons you may file an appeal:

  • You asked to be paid for mileage for non-emergent medical appointments and you were denied
  • We denied, stopped, or limited a medical, dental, or behavioral health service.
  • You were denied a request for a non-emergent medical transportation service

If your appeal decision does not change the denial, you can then ask for a state fair hearing. You must ask for a hearing within 120 days from the date on the Notice of Appeal Resolution (NOAR) letter.

If YCCO does not make a decision on your appeal in the specified amount of time, YCCO’s appeal process is exhausted, and you may ask for a contested case hearing.

How to appeal a decision
You can ask for an appeal orally or in writing. Ask us for an appeal by:

  • Calling Customer Service at 855-722-8205 (TTY 711).
  • Writing us a letter.

You can mail, fax or email  your letter of form to:

    • Fax: 503-765-9675
    • Mail: Yamhill Community Care

Attn: Appeals & Grievance Specialist
P.O. Box 5490
Salem, OR 97304

If you want help with your appeal, call Customer Service and we can fill out an appeal form for you to sign.

You can ask your authorized representative, a certified community health worker, peer wellness specialist, or personal health navigator to help you. You may also call the Public Benefits Hotline at 800-520-5292 for legal advice and help.
