Oregon Health Plan Members: It’s Time to Pick Your Plan!
Planned Parenthood is spreading the word about an exciting opportunity for people who are insured through the Oregon Health Plan (OHP)!
Between October 16th and November 17th, you get to choose a plan that works best for you and your family. We know OHP members will weigh a variety of factors in making your selections, and we hope that access to Planned Parenthood health centers is one of them. If you want to come to Planned Parenthood or have us as an option for care, choose a plan that includes us as a provider.
Here’s how it works: OHP has local health plans that help you use your benefits. OHP starts by matching you with a plan based on the doctors you see and the care you get. Now, you get to tell OHP if you would like to select an alternate plan.
In making your decision, keep in mind that health plans have a “network” or list of providers where you can use your insurance. Not every health plan will include every provider, so check to see if your preferred healthcare providers are included in the plan you were assigned.

- AllCare

Contact OHP with your choice by November 17th. Your coverage will begin January 1st, 2020, at which time you will get a second chance to make a change. Between January 1st and March 31st you can try out your OHP health plan and change it for any reason.

Supreme Court Protects Access to Abortion in Louisiana — for NowToday the Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision in June Medical Services v. Russo, struck down the Louisiana law that imposed medically unnecessary restrictions on abortion providers. This case, and 16 others waiting one step away from SCOTUS, was a clear effort to eliminate access to abortion and overturn Roe v. Wade. We all braced for the decision and breathed a collective sigh of relief when the court affirmed access to abortion for the time being. We can all celebrate ...
