The HMO plan permits access to a large network of Oregon providers, while the traditional plan allows you to choose any doctor. This insurance for low-income Oregonians is our state's version of Medicaid. It is available to self-employed people whose income fits within the plan's guidelines. It is automatically available to anyone, including children, who receives Social Security Income. People who are eligible for OHP can choose between several HMO options, including CareOregon, ODS, Kaiser, and Providence plans.
Dental coverage is included.
Extended mental health coverage is available for some applicants. Apply through your county department of senior and disability services or county health department, or talk to your public assistance caseworker. All use Blue Cross-Blue Shield. OMIP coverage is also available to residents who have been denied coverage by other insurance companies due to a pre-existing health condition. You will need to have written documentation of this refusal.
