Help Getting to Covered Appointments

The Oregon Health Plan (OHP) pays for travel you need to get health care that OHP covers. This is called "non-emergent medical transportation" (NEMT). NEMT:

  • Can be travel to get health care services covered by OHP. Travel can be by taxi, bus or a local ride service.
  • Can also help pay for travel costs, such as gas, meals and lodging. 
  • Is only for members with OHP Plus (BMM, BMH, BMD) and OHP Bridge (BRG) benefits.

OHP will only pay your travel costs if your ride service approves them before you go to your appointment or pharmacy.

To Get Help, Call Your Local Ride Service.

To find your local ride service, type your county name in the Search box below. You will see the ride services for local coordinated care organizations and open card (fee-for-service) members. You can also view OHA's map of local ride services.

  • Ride services are also known as "brokerages." They help OHP members get NEMT services.
  • If you need help, call your ride service before the day of your health care appointment or pharmacy visit.

If you still need help after calling your ride service:

  • Call your CCO.
  • Not in a CCO? Call OHP Client Services at 800-273-0557.
