OHP benefits available to people of all ages and immigration status

Starting July 1, Oregonians of all ages, regardless of immigration status, will have access to full Oregon Health Plan (OHP/Medicaid) benefits if they meet income requirements. Full OHP coverage includes medical, dental and mental health care, prescriptions and tests, X-rays and hospital care, and rides to and from health care appointments.

The expansion of OHP coverage, called Healthier Oregon, also moves people ages 26-54 who are enrolled in OHP’s emergency coverage to full OHP coverage.

You can apply for OHP here, or find someone in your local community to help you apply here. You can also call 800-699-9075 weekdays from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. It is better to call earlier in the day.
