As we work together to stop the spread of COVID-19 at home, work and in the community, we want to make sure you have the resources you need to keep informed, healthy and safe. If you have any questions about OHP and COVID-19, please let us know.
Updates for Oregon Health Plan providers
No updates at this time.
Please continue to refer to the Oregon Medicaid COVID-19 Provider Guide for information related to OHP and CAWEM coverage of vaccine, testing, screening, treatment and telemedicine services; OHP and CAWEM eligibility; and other information and resources related to providing and billing for covered services during COVID-19.
 Reminder: Apply now for new COVID-19-related funding opportunities - Applications close Oct. 26, 2021
The application is now open for both Provider Relief Fund (PRF) Phase 4 and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural payments.
The application will close on Oct. 26, 2021, at 11:59 p.m. ET. Applications must undergo a number of validation checks before financial information is submitted so providers are encouraged to begin their application as soon as possible to ensure they are able to meet the deadline.
In order to streamline the application process and minimize administrative burdens, providers will apply for both programs in a single application, and HRSA will use existing Medicaid, Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and Medicare claims data in calculating portions of these payments.
 Virtual learning sessions: Pediatric COVID vaccines for clinics
The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) Transformation Center, in partnership with the OHA Vaccine Planning Unit, is hosting a learning series focused on pediatric COVID-19 immunizations.
As a participant, you will hear from subject matter experts and peers on key topics such as pediatric vaccine updates, how to build vaccine confidence in parents, and using equity in all planning and delivery of vaccine. Time will be reserved to answer questions from clinical staff.
Space will be limited to the first 500 participants. Please register for each date below and join us via Zoom. All sessions are Thursdays from noon to 1 p.m. Pacific Time.
Free 4-part virtual workshop for health care and frontline workers: "Centering Your Needs: Visioning and Planning for Wellness" begins Oct. 26
In partnership with OHA, Lines for Life offers free peer-facilitated Virtual Wellness Rooms and Wellness Affinity Groups to communities statewide. Join the Oregon Helpers Wellness Initiative – a service of Lines for Life – for an interactive four-part wellness workshop.
- The series is an opportunity for reflection and support, in which participants engage in an inquiry process and develop their own personalized wellness vision.
- This vision acts to clarify steps and identify the barriers that may exist to meeting one’s own wellness needs. Participants leave with a clearer commitment to their own wellness, and a vision of how to integrate wellness into their current lives as helpers.
Sessions are designed as four sequential parts – three “building blocks” and the fourth being a culmination of what participants have learned; however, we understand that due to scheduling difficulties, participants may not be able to attend all four sessions. When registering for the workshop series, please attend all sessions that you are available.
This program is offered at no cost to health care and frontline workers, and others in helping roles.
