Oregon Health Plan

Perhaps the most important public resource available to people upon release from incarceration is OHP because it may help pay for medical appointments, treatment and recovery, and even transportation to medical and mental health appointments.

Applying for OHP Health Insurance through a Community Partner where you live is a great idea for several reasons listed below:

  • Great way to connect with a local Healthcare Provider
  • Easy to sign up in person and to avoid long call waiting sessions on OHP’s telephone line
  • After signing up through an OHP Community Partner you can submit changes to your
    “Household” directly to the Community Partner in person. Changes to your “Household” may include: work pay stubs, address changes, and additions or subtractions of members to your household.
  • Application Assisters with OHP Community Partners have the ability to request URGENT service from OHP staff which may come in handy when dealing with people dealing with mental health, addictions recovery, and securing treatment or transition beds in your community.
