Action required— Enroll prescribers with the Oregon Health Plan
To ensure continued prescription coverage for Oregon Health Plan members, OHA will not enforce the prescriber enrollment requirement for fee-for-service prescription claims on March 1.
- Despite continued outreach, too many prescribers remain unenrolled.
- When OHA has confirmed a new effective date, we will let you know.In the meantime, please help OHA’s outreach efforts by:

Enrollment does not require any provider to start serving Oregon Health Plan (OHP) members. However, it does ensure that the prescriptions they write for OHP members are covered.

OHA only accepts prior authorization requests in two ways:
-

-
By fax, on the 2018 version of the MSC 3971 form: Be sure you are using the currently posted version, which corrects the “FROM” field on page 1 so that you can enter your name. Include all three pages, with the EDMS Coversheet as page 1 of your fax.
