Provider updates

We are excited to announce that CareOregon is participating in the Oregon Health Authority’s (OHA) implementation of the OHP Bridge. Please take a look below for the details you need to know.

What is changing?

Starting July 1, 2024, CareOregon will take part in the implementation of OHA’s CCO administered OHP Bridge program.

OHP Bridge will expand access to affordable health coverage to approximately 100,000 Oregon residents that meet the eligibility criteria statewide.

The program is a permanent extension of the existing, temporary version that began on May 1, 2023, entitled “Temporary Medicaid Expansion” or TME.

Why is this happening and why is this change important?

CareOregon strongly believes that by making individuals and families healthier, we make entire communities healthier, too.

OHP Bridge supports our mission by:

• Providing quality, affordable health insurance coverage to adults who typically wouldn’t qualify.
• Providing continued care to individuals who are more likely to be uninsured or fall in and out of health coverage due to income changes.
• Supporting continuity of care, and mitigating negative health outcomes for OHP enrollees, especially those managing chronic health conditions or seeking preventive treatment.

What is not changing?

There is no change in the expectations CareOregon has of their network partners in the level of care and quality of care that they deliver to CareOregon members, regardless of category of aid or program.
