Health-Related Social Needs (HRSN) Information for Providers

Are you planning to apply for HRSN housing benefits? Read this first.

  • Not all Oregon Health Plan (OHP) members will qualify for HRSN housing benefits. Due to federal requirements, to qualify for HRSN housing benefits you must have specific health, living, and financial conditions. Read this overview to see if you might qualify.
  • HRSN housing benefits aren’t meant for emergencies. It takes time to approve and receive HRSN housing benefits. Times can vary by service and provider. If you have an eviction notice, contact your regional Community Action Agency (CAA).

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.
