And here are some frequently asked questions
What if you’re 65 or older?
-
If you are 65 or older, it’s time to transition to Medicare.
Original Medicare comes with great benefits (especially when combined with a Medicare Advantage Plan from Providence). If you are eligible, you should transition from OHP to Medicare as soon as possible to maintain coverage.
*Note that there will be changes in coverage and out-of-pocket costs under Medicare compared to Oregon Health Plan
Why is eligibility changing?
-
With the COVID-19 Emergency Declaration ending, eligibility rules for the Oregon Health Plan are changing.
Federal Medicaid funding is returning to its pre-pandemic budget and scope. This means some current OHP members will no longer qualify for coverage.
What if I am a Medicare Savings Program Member?
-
Respond to requests for additional information from Medicare.
Federal Medicaid funding is returning to its pre-pandemic budget and scope. This means some current OHP members will no longer qualify for coverage. If you don’t respond, your benefits may expire, even if you are still eligible.
What if I receive services and supports for People with Disabilities and Older Adults?
-
Look for an update from the State of Oregon by mail.
If you are no longer financially eligible for services and support for People with Disabilities and Older Adults, you may lose health coverage as well as payments for other supports you receive (including housing if you live in a licensed care setting). You will receive a separate notice if any of these services are ending with next steps and resources.
If you are no longer eligible, be sure to contact the state as there is no equivalent benefit, state Basic Health Program, or other payer source available for services and supports for People with Disabilities and Older Adults.
If you are still financially eligible, no further action is needed.
