To Get Medical Care:

If you are in an OHP coordinated care organization (CCO) that covers medical care:

  • Call your CCO to choose health providers. You can choose a primary care doctor, nurse practitioner and more.
  • If you don't want to choose a provider, your CCO may choose one for you to get started.
If you are not in a CCO, you need to see a provider that accepts fee-for-service OHP. This means the provider bills OHA for services they provide.
