Oregon Health Plan (OHP) Dental-Only Programs

More People Can Apply for OHP Dental Benefits

As of January 1, 2023, more adults qualify for Oregon Health Plan (OHP) dental benefits.

The 2022 Oregon Legislature passed bills to expand OHP dental coverage to these groups:

House Bill 4095 (2022) created the Veteran Dental Program, for Oregon veterans who do not qualify for OHP.
Senate Bill 1538 (2022) created the COFA Dental Program, for Compact of Free Association (COFA) citizens who do not qualify for OHP.

The 2023 Oregon Legislature added funding for the Veteran Dental Program through House Bill 5029 (2023).

People who live in Oregon and don't qualify for full OHP benefits.
