Families are encouraged to check eligibility for the children in their households, even if they are already covered by another insurance plan.
Those who qualify for OHP can enroll any time, but policies must be renewed annually. Enrollment in 2018 private or Marketplace places closes December 15 th . Those with secure internet access can learn more about OHP and Federal Marketplace plans online at healthcare.oregon.gov.
Crook County Health Department staff work with community members to help them stay healthy with access to more affordable health care. Enrollment assistance is a free community service supported by grant funds from the Oregon Health Authority.
