OHP re-application process
In October 2013, the Oregon Health Plan sent out a one-page applica-
tion to sign up for health benefits called “Fast Track.”
Any recipient on SNAP (food stamps) received a Fast Track letter. All
Oregon Health Plan members who qualified for coverage through Fast
Track must re-apply within the first year of coverage or risk losing their
coverage. If it has not been a full year, you still need to re-apply to con-
tinue receiving health benefits.
In July, the Oregon Health Authority will begin sending letters to Orego-
nians who received the Oregon Health Plan through Fast Track explain-
ing the re-application process. The Grand Ronde Health and Wellness
Center Community Partners want to help Tribal and community members
make sure they retain their health coverage. If you do not re-apply, you
will lose your health benefits through the Oregon Health Plan.
Please give us a call for information and assistance.
