Oregon Health Authority (OHA) is reminding people with Oregon Health Plan (OHP) coverage to make sure their contact information is up to date. This is important because new federal rules require every state to change how they manage their health coverage programs and OHP members may need to receive additional information to keep their coverage.
Members should respond to renewal letters and keep their contact information and preferred language up to date by going to Benefits.Oregon.gov, calling 1-800-699-9075, or visiting a local ODHS office.
What the new federal rules mean for Oregon:
- Starting in January 2027, some adult OHP members, including some adults covered by Healthier Oregon, will need to meet work or other activity rules starting in January 2027. There will be exemptions, but the federal government only recently provided details on the rules. OHA is reviewing the new information and will share more about exemptions later this summer.
- Starting in late 2027, most people will need to renew their OHP coverage more often. Some adults will need to renew every 6 months, while others will renew annually.
People can still apply for OHP any time by going to Benefits.Oregon.gov, calling 800-699-9075, or visiting a local ODHS office. People can find free help at OregonHealthCare.gov/GetHelp.
