What Is Sexual and Reproductive Health Care?

OHP covers a broad range of reproductive and sexual health services, including annual wellness visits, birth control, emergency contraception, pregnancy testing, prenatal care, sexually transmitted infection testing, sterilization, and abortion. All services OHP covers are free.

These services support sexual and reproductive health. Sexual and reproductive health means that a person has complete physical, mental and social well-being in all matters relating to their reproductive system and its functions. In everyday life, this means that people are able to have satisfying and safe sex lives, have healthy pregnancies and births, and decide if, when and how often to have children.

For Members Under Age 18:

In Oregon, minors of any age can consent to the following services without parent or guardian consent:

  • Birth control
  • Prenatal, postnatal and delivery care
  • Testing and treatment for STIs.

Minors under 15 cannot consent to abortion or voluntary sterilization without parental permission, except in certain circumstances. Learn more on OHA's Abortion Access website.

Minors age 15 and over can consent to any medical service without parent or guardian consent.

To Get Care:

Most OHP members get their benefits through a local coordinated care organization (CCO). Call your CCO and ask about reproductive health providers in your area, or use your CCO's provider directory. You can find contact information and directories for each CCO here.

If you are not in a CCO (known as OHP Open Card), call OHP Open Card Care Coordination at 800-562-4620 or visit ohpcc.org

If you do not know your CCO, call OHP Client Services for help at 800-273-0557.

If You Don't Have OHP:

The Reproductive Health Access Fund (RHAF) covers reproductive health services at certain clinics. People who qualify for RHAF can get services for free. Learn more about RHAF and how to find a clinic

The Reproductive Health Equity Act requires private health plans to cover reproductive health services. It also ensures ways to offer reproductive health services even if you are uninsured. Contact your private health plan to learn more about their covered services and how to find providers. 

If you have or need to be screened for breast cancer or cervical cancer, your provider can refer you to Screenwise and the Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Programs for testing and treatment. The Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Program program offers full OHP coverage. Learn more about Screenwise and the Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment program.
