About HRSN Providers
HRSN service providers are organizations that:
Provide HRSN services. These include housing,
nutrition, and outreach and engagement benefits. HRSN service providers can choose to provide one, two or all of these benefits to OHP members.
Serve OHP members in a way that is culturally and linguistically appropriate, responsive and trauma-informed.
To become an HRSN provider, your organization must identify which members you want to serve.
Most OHP members are in coordinated care organizations (CCOs). Providers need to contact
their local CCO to find out how to join their network and serve CCO members.
About 10 percent of OHP members are not enrolled in a CCO. These members are known as "open card" members. Providers bill Oregon Health Authority (OHA) for services provided to these members.
- OHA encourages providers to
enroll with OHA to serve open card members. If providers do this first, it will reduce paperwork when enrolling with CCOs later.
