Insurance Doesn't Have to Be Scary

Becoming insured helps you get the care you need. If you don’t already have health insurance, we can help you sign up for the Oregon Health Plan.

Following current COVID-19 guidelines, enrollment assistance will be conducted over the phone. Please call us at 503.583.6659  for help with a new application, to check on the status of a submitted application, or to renew your Oregon Health Plan coverage.

Who is eligible

Eligibility for Oregon Health Plan (OHP) is determined by the Oregon Health Authority. If we cannot complete an application, or if you are found to be ineligible, we are happy to sit down and help figure out where you can go to find other coverage possibilities.
