What Is It?

OHP Bridge is health coverage for adults with income just above the traditional OHP Plus limit. Adults with annual income between 133 and 200 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL) can get quality health insurance through OHP Bridge.

OHP Bridge covers medical, dental and behavioral health care. Members will have access to additional benefits like transportation to medical apointments and health-related services. However, OHP Bridge does not cover long-term services and supports or housing and nutrition benefits.

Just like OHP Plus, OHP Bridge has no member costs.

Who Is This For?

OHP Bridge will cover adults up to age 65 who:

Have income above traditional OHP Plus limits and between 133 to 200 percent of the FPL,
Do not have access to affordable health insurance, and
Have an eligible citizenship or immigration status.

Income limits shown below apply through February 2027. FPL is updated annually.

Why Did Oregon Create OHP Bridge?

Before the pandemic, adults in Oregon with income just above OHP’s limits were more likely to be uninsured than other groups. This group struggled to afford coverage and was more likely to delay health care due to cost.

OHP Bridge will reduce the disruptions that happen when people lose and regain OHP due to income changes. OHP Bridge will allow current OHP members to stay in their CCO so they can keep their doctors. This makes it easier for people to manage chronic health conditions or seek treatment for health issues before they become more serious. It will also decrease administrative costs for providers and the state.

OHP Bridge will help many people avoid coverage gaps, like being uninsured.
