When it comes to physical health, our members are covered from birth onward. When you first start with CareOregon, we recommend you begin with a wellness visit. As soon as you can, call the primary care provider’s office on the front of your Member ID card. Let the clinic know you’re a new patient and CareOregon member, and that you’d like to schedule a wellness visit. Or, click here to find a provider.
