Oregon Health Plan: apply for medical coverage: how to apply

Application guidance reviewed 2026-10-11. OHP enrollment is open throughout the year; eligibility still requires agency review.

Start here: Apply for OHP at any time of year through https://benefits.oregon.gov. Have household, income and other health coverage information ready.

How to apply: full steps and checklist

1. Is this for me?

Income and Oregon residency requirements apply; age, disability and other circumstances affect eligibility.

Service area: Oregon; confirm program-specific location and institution requirements.

2. What should I prepare?

Some documents may be conditional. Ask about alternatives. Checkmarks are temporary and are not saved or sent.

3. Where and how do I submit?

Submit your medical-benefits application through Oregon ONE, call 800-699-9075 to apply by telephone, or apply at a local ODHS benefits office. Upload requested documents to ONE or deliver them to the office.

Timing: Applications can be requested year-round; follow the deadline on any agency notice.

4. What will it cost?

Details to confirm with the provider

A program-specific cost explanation has not been verified. Ask the provider whether this route has any fees, required contribution or repayment terms, and what cost assistance is available.

5. What happens after I submit?

Read ONE messages for verification requests and your eligibility notice. Respond by the stated dates. Keep contact details current so renewal notices reach you. If approved but you need help using coverage or getting your OHP card, call OHP Client Services at 800-273-0557.

6. What if something goes wrong?

For an incorrect OHP eligibility decision, ask ODHS for a hearing by phone, in writing, in person, or with MSC 0443 before the deadline in your notice. A denial of medical treatment or services follows a separate process: use the denial notice and OHP Appeals and Hearings guidance.
