Frequently asked questions

Q: Will CareOregon ever send me a bill?

A: No. We will never charge you for any covered Medicaid/OHP service.

Q: Will I owe a copayment if I go to the doctor?

A: Our members are not charged copayments or fees when they see a doctor or other provider in our network. There may be a copayment at pharmacies for certain mental health prescriptions that are covered by the state.

If a medical office asks you for a copayment, ask the staff to call Customer Service.

When you make an appointment, let the office know you’re covered by CareOregon.
