 The monthly Medicaid Enrollment dashboard has been revamped! Significant updates were made to the dashboard with the February 2024 release.
The previous version of the dashboard can be still accessed until May 2024. If there is something you rely on in the previous version that is not available in the updated version, please email HPA.IDEA.Team@odhsoha.oregon.gov by April 15, 2024.
Oregon Administrative Rule Chapter 410, division 136 Air ambulance rulemaking is underway and rule changes in process are to be made effective July 1, 2024.
- Rules Advisory Committee (RAC) will be held April 15, from 3:30 to 5 p.m. for Air ambulance rule changes.
- RAC membership will be limited to one person per organization or affected community.
- You can ask to join as a RAC member, to represent your organization. To do this, contact Michelle Meuwissen michelle.m.meuwissen@oha.oregon.gov and Tepinvorlak.Bopha@oha.oregon.gov
- At the RAC, members will provide important input that will help us develop rules and help us better understand the impacts of the proposed rule changes.
- Please share this information with additional groups and/or individuals who may be interested in providing input about the proposed rule changes. Further information about the process including RAC notification if interested can be found on OHA’s RAC meeting webpage.
With more than 88 percent of the state’s 1.5 million renewals complete, more than 4 out of 5 Oregonians are keeping their benefits.
During the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE), the federal government allowed states to keep people on Medicaid benefits. This ended when the pandemic emergency ended, and since April 2023, Oregon has been making sure everyone on OHP is still eligible.
At this point in the PHE unwinding process, most of the initially planned 10 waves of renewals are complete.
- Under 4,800 members, about 0.3 percent, still need to respond to renewals from those initial waves.
- About 2.9 percent of members have responded to their renewal but are awaiting state action on the response.
- The remaining renewals, about 8.6 percent of the total, will occur over the summer.
Oregon’s 82.6 percent renewal rate continues to one of the three highest in a national comparison of state renewal rates by KFF, a nonpartisan health policy organization. KFF analysis also shows Oregon also has saved more people from unnecessary renewal paperwork than any other state via the automated renewal process. Oregon’s high renewal rates are also due to proactive efforts by the state to keep people covered, including a structured renewal schedule, extended response timelines, and adding the upcoming OHP Bridge program for adults with higher incomes.
OHA and ODHS are committed to transparency and will continue to send monthly information about medical coverage among Oregonians as the agencies continue to track the programs. Check our ONE Eligibility Operations Dashboards for more frequent updates on medical renewal data and wait times for callers to the ONE Customer Service Center.
