CareOregon’s Tribal Care Coordination program is for all self-identified American Indians and Alaska Natives on the fee-for-service (open card) Oregon Health Plan. These members may be not formally enrolled in their tribes or their tribes may not be federally recognized, and/or their tribes may not be from Oregon region. This program also includes members of Oregon’s nine sovereign, federally recognized Tribes (see full list below) and NARA (Native American Rehabilitation Association). We work together with Tribal leaders, Tribal health programs and centers, and NARA to offer extra help with your health care needs.
There is no cost for this service, and you are free to leave at any time. Download and informative brochure in English or Spanish.

This includes conditions such as:
