In this update:
 
More than 400,000 people — about 9 percent of Oregon’s population — still need to respond to a renewal or will receive a renewal letter in coming months.
Members who have not received a renewal yet should:
- Keep their address and contact information up to date.
- Check their mail or ONE Online account for their renewal letter.
- Do what the renewal letter asks as soon as possible.
As of Dec. 13, 2023, 1,053,636 people have completed the renewal process. This represents 72.4 percent of all Oregon Health Plan (OHP) and Medicaid members.
- 898,868 people (85.3 percent) were renewed and kept their benefits.
- 140,535 people (13 percent) were found ineligible.
- 16,227 people (1.5 percent) had a reduction in their benefits. Most of these members lost full OHP but were able to continue Medicare Savings Programs that help pay their Medicare costs.
Although 5 out of 6 Oregonians are keeping coverage, this also means 1 in 6 people are losing or reducing benefits. Over 150,000 people will need to consider their other coverage options after completing their renewal.

We encourage you to share this important message with the people you serve:
Open enrollment ends Jan. 16, 2024 for 2024 health coverage through the Oregon Health Insurance Marketplace. This is the primary time of year when people who don’t have coverage through a job or a public program can enroll through the Marketplace — the only place to get financial help! Health coverage is important.
Health insurance gives individuals access to crucial medical care. Whether it's routine checkups, preventive care, mental health care, or emergency treatment, having insurance can help alleviate the financial burden that often comes with health care.
