OHP Bridge — Draft Rules and Community Input
Oregon Health Authority (OHA) would like your help building Oregon's upcoming expansion of health care coverage, Oregon Health Plan (OHP) Bridge. OHP Bridge:
- Is a new category of OHP benefits that will cover more adults with higher incomes, launching in July 2024.
- Will offer OHP coverage through coordinated care organizations, with no enrollee costs.
- Will serve adults aged 19-64 in Oregon who have incomes between 138 and 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Level, have eligible immigration status, and do not have access to another form of affordable coverage.
OHA is currently drafting rules for OHP Bridge and is now accepting community input for the draft rules.
The public and community partners are invited to give written feedback on the draft OHP Bridge Rules through April 21, 2024. Community input is due April 21, 2024, 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time.
