OHP Information
Changes to your Oregon Health Plan:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, most Oregon Health Plan (OHP) members kept their health benefits even if they had a change in their life, such as a temporary change in income or turning 65 or qualifying for Medicare.
As the COVID-19 emergency phases out, policies will change again. The state will contact you to explain what you need to do to keep your health benefits. The state may need more info to see if you still qualify for OHP and other benefits. If the state can’t reach you, you could lose your benefits, even if you still qualify. That’s why it’s important to update your mailing address, phone number, and email address. If you need help and would like us to speak with someone else about your benefits, you can assign an authorized representative who can be a family member or friend you choose to help you.
