OHA is working to ensure that all of those who need medical assistance are seen, regardless of legal status. Below are three programs that are administered by the OHA, and are specific to undocumented communities:

Citizen/Alien Waived Emergency Medical (CAWEM) program are individuals who, except for their immigration status, would be eligible for Medicaid. They only receive emergency medical and female sterilization services.
CAWEM-Eligible Pregnant Women: Citizen/Alien Waived Emergency Medical (CAWEM) program are individuals who, except for their immigration status, would be eligible for Medicaid. During pregnancy and 60 days post-partum, CAWEM women receive full OHP Plus benefits except for hospice and Death with Dignity.
Cover All Kids (CAK) are non-Medicaid/OHP only population. Age 0-17 (some age 18-23 if pregnant.)

Additionally, The Secretary of Health and Human Services has declared a State of Public Health Emergency for the United States due to the spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19). As a result, the Oregon Health Authority has determined that the Oregon Health Plan’s (OHP) Citizen/Alien Waived Emergency Medical (CAWEM) benefit includes emergency services related to the coronavirus (COVID-19). This coverage includes facility and professional services in emergency rooms and subsequent hospitalizations when deemed appropriate and necessary.

For OHP fee-for-service (open card) billing questions, please contact Provider Services at 800-336-6016, option 5, or email questions to dmap.providerservices@dhsoha.state.or.us. For CCO-enrolled members, please contact the CCO.
