The Oregon Health Authority says it has received flexibility from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to remove barriers for Oregonians to qualify for, enroll in, and stay enrolled in the Oregon Health Plan.   Oregon has also received flexibility for providers to provide care to members as the state responds to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Under the waiver, all members who are currently enrolled in the Oregon Health Plan will not lose coverage during this crisis.  Individuals can sign up for OHP without having to verify their income with their application.  They will be able to self-attest, which will help Oregonians get access to OHP coverage more quickly.  Federal stimulus payments and increased unemployment payments will not affect OHP eligibility.  They will not be counted during the application process or when members report a change in their household.  Oregon will also have additional flexibility to add to its healthcare workforce, provide treatment in temporary sites, and for paying providers during this public health emergency.
