New to OHP

Welcome to the Oregon Health Plan!

Welcome to the Oregon Health Plan (OHP), our state's medical assistance program. OHP provides Oregonians access to coordinated health care. It covers services such as regular check-ups, prescriptions, mental health care, addiction treatment, and dental care.

Most OHP members are enrolled in a coordinated care organization (CCO)

A coordinated care organization (CCO) is a local network of all types of health care providers that include physical health, addictions and mental health, and dental care providers. These providers work together in their communities to serve Oregon Health Plan (OHP) members.

CCOs were created to provide integrated, patient-centered care to all OHP members. Instead of just treating you when you get sick, they can work with you to keep you healthy and manage any existing health conditions.

For example, CCOs may offer added services for OHP members who have chronic conditions like diabetes, asthma or other health needs. CCOs also focus on prevention, which may lead to fewer unnecessary trips to the hospital or emergency room.

If you are new to the Oregon Health Plan

There are a few things you can do to make sure you get the care you need, when you need it.

Pick your provider

Select a primary care provider when you are ready.

Contact your coordinated care organization (CCO) to choose health providers such as primary care doctors, nurse practitioners and more. If you don't want to select a provider, your CCO may be able to select one for you to get started. Don't forget you can also choose a dentist and a mental health care provider.
Not in a CCO? Use the online physician directory to find OHP physicians in your area. You can also call 800-562-4620 (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) for help finding other types of OHP providers.

Make an appointment

You can call and make an appointment when you need to. Getting check-ups will help your primary care provider learn about your medical history before any health issues occur. That way, if you do get sick, your doctor can better provide the care you need.

Ask questions and gather information

Write down any questions you have for your provider before you go to your first appointment. Also, write down information about your family's health history and any prescription drugs or other medications you take. This will help you and your doctor establish your overall care.
