Oregon Health Plan news release. Starting Jan. 1, 2018, the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) is now available to more children and teens younger than 19, regardless of immigration status. This includes youth with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status and those previously only eligible for Citizen Alien Waived Emergent Medical (CAWEM or CAWEM Plus). All other OHP eligibility criteria for those under 19, such as household income, remain the same. What is OHP? OHP is free health coverage for Oregonians who meet income and other criteria. It covers many health care services such as check-ups, tooth fillings, glasses and prescriptions. It also covers labs, x-rays and hospital care. It even pays for rides to and from the doctor’s office. Learn more about the health care services covered by OHP. How do I enroll in OHP? Apply to see if you qualify. Help is free. A trusted and OHP-certified community partner nearby can help you apply. Find a partner in your area using the OHP-Certified Community Partner Directory. You can also call 800-699-9075.
