OHA Ombuds Program

Supporting Oregon Health Plan (Medicaid) Members

The Oregon Health Authority has a team of staff who advocate for Oregon Health Plan (OHP) members. These staff are called OHP Ombudspersons. The goal of the Ombuds team is to make sure OHP members get quality health care.

Contact the Ombuds Program if you have a concern about the services you get from OHP or if you want to share a compliment.

  • Tell us your name, your OHP number, and your email or phone number.
  • Share as much detail as you can about your concern or compliment.
  • If your concern is about OHP or Medicaid, we will try to contact you within 5 working days.

All Oregonians need quality health care they can afford. Oregon's Medicaid plan is called the Oregon Health Plan or "OHP." OHP serves over 1 million members in Oregon.
