Becoming an OHP member

You may qualify for OHP benefits based on your income or other factors. CareOregon provides medical care as part of Health Share, the coordinated care organization (CCO) in the Portland metro area. Together, we make it easy for you to get comprehensive physical, dental and mental health coverage, and substance use treatment, at no cost. We're here to make sure you and your family get the best care possible. Click on a topic below to learn more.

If you’re wondering whether you qualify for the Oregon Health Plan, we can help. The information below can help you decide on your next step.

Who is covered:

Adults (age 19-64) in households that earn up to:

  • $1,468 a month for a single person
  • $3,013 for a family of four

Children (age 0-18) in households that earn up to:

  • $4,383 a month for a family of two

Pregnant individuals in households that earn up to:

Immigration status
If you have a child under age 18, they can be covered regardless of immigration status. This includes youth with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and those prior to 2018 who only qualified for emergency Medicaid, or CAWEM.

Even when your income qualifies you for the Oregon Health Plan, the state asks you to provide certain documents.

 

Have these handy when you apply online, or bring them with you to an in-person event.

  • Birthdate (birth certificate, if available)
  • Social Security number (for those who have one)
  • Income and deduction information (for example, pay stubs)
  • Immigration documentation (if applicable)
  • Information about health insurance available to you through an employer (if any)

You have many options for enrolling in the Oregon Health Plan, and you don’t have to do it by yourself. If you ever have questions or need assistance, we’re here to help.
