Program Components

Insurance Enrollment Assistance

Our team of experts guides people through the application processes for Medicaid, the federal health insurance Marketplace, and other plans, ensuring they secure the right coverage for their needs. We can assist any Oregon resident with health insurance enrollment, regardless of income.

Payment Support

For qualifying individuals, we provide financial assistance to pay monthly health insurance premiums, reducing a significant barrier to care. Currently, the program is for Portland metro residents who can’t afford private insurance but don’t qualify for Medicaid (OHP).

How It Works

01

Assess

Staff assess eligibility and determine the best path to coverage, guiding clients through complex application processes.

02

Assist

For low-income individuals who don’t qualify for Medicaid, we offer payment assistance reducing the likelihood of cycling on/off of private coverage.

03

Connect

We act as a trusted resource, ensuring clients understand changes, complete annual renewals, and connect to programs/partners when other support is needed.

Program Adaptability

We are here to help support navigating complex systems for those with limited resources, recognizing that supporting one person often stabilizes an entire family.

We are flexible and ready to expand with additional investment.

Program Expansion Ideas

  1. Proactive outreach to communities impacted by new Medicaid requirements, helping people retain coverage or transition to other options.
  2. Grow the pool of funds available for insurance premium payment support to fill gaps that cause individuals to cycle on/off of health insurance frequently or have gaps in coverage.
  3. Ensure individuals who qualify for Medicaid are also supported during enrollment/renewal for other programs they may qualify for and connect them with partner organizations.
