Medicaid/Oregon Health Plan

If your family has no health insurance, the Medicaid Enrollment Team can help you see if you may qualify for the Oregon Health Plan or other insurance programs. This coverage could insure you and/or your child for medical, dental and emergency services.

Oregon Health Plan

The Oregon Health Plan (OHP) has two benefit packages, Plus and Standard. It also has the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) for kids. You may qualify if your income is 100-201% FPL. See income guidelines»

OHP Plus is the basic benefit package for individuals who are:

  • Pregnant
  • Under age 19
  • Blind
  • Disabled or age 65+ and receiving SSI or waivered services
  • Those receiving medical benefits through Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF)

OHP Standard covers individuals transitioning from OHP Plus (i.e., children turning 19 years of age, post-partum moms and refugees). These individuals will need to reapply every six months.
