Expanding Your Knowledge of Oregon Health Insurance
Do I have any rights concerning Oregon health insurance?
Yes. Oregon health insurance is regulated by the Oregon Department of Insurance, which oversees the practices and laws concerning insurance. You are protected by the State of Oregon in the following ways:
- If you are covered under a group plan, nondiscrimination protects you by barring denied or limited coverage on account of your health status.
- The guaranteed issue protects you when purchasing group health insurance for a small business. It ensures that you cannot be turned down because of the age or health status of your group members.
- Most Oregon health insurance policies are guaranteed renewable. This means that your Oregon health insurance company cannot cancel your policy if you get sick.
- Your individual Oregon health insurance premium cannot be determined by your health status. This practice is called the modified community rating.
What will I pay for Oregon health insurance?
Premiums under group plans are likely—but not guaranteed—to be lower in cost. If you are unable to participate in a group plan, you will need to look for individual Oregon health insurance.
When purchasing individual Oregon health insurance, your premium can be determined by factors such as your age, benefits plan, family composition and geographic location. Remember that the "modified community rating" ensures that you will not pay a higher premium because of your health status.
What if I can't afford Oregon health insurance?
If you are unable to afford Oregon health insurance, there are still options available to you.
- If you earn a low or modest income, you may be eligible for Oregon Medicaid. Oregon Medicaid offers free coverage for pregnant women, families and the elderly and disabled.
- If you have children under the age of 18 who are uninsured or underinsured, they may qualify for the Oregon Children's Health Insurance Plan (OR CHIP).
- If you have a family and earn a low or modest income, you may be eligible for subsidized Oregon health insurance through the Family Health Insurance Assistance Program (FHIAP).
- Free or subsidized screening and treatment for breast and cervical cancer is available through the Oregon Breast and Cervical Cancer Medicaid Program, for women who are eligible.
