Fall 2013
Presented by the Self-Sufficiency Training Unit
Oregon is ready to implement changes in the way we offer medical coverage to our customers
This webinar will explain the immediate changes we will be supporting, including:
Guidelines for daily work Interacting with our customers Collaboration with OHA and Cover Oregon
Medical cases will be carried by the OHA Statewide Processing Center (5503), APD and AAA DHS will continue to determine REFM medical eligibility Cover Oregon will help customers compare and enroll into insurance that fits their budget
Medical applications with a DOR prior to October 1 will be processed in the branch using current eligibility rules ◦ This includes cases that may be in pend status
Once eligibility is established, and a separate P2 medical case is open, transfer the medical case to 5503
Effective with a DOR of October 1, 2013 and later, DHS will do medical differently
Eligibility for OCCS medical programs: BCCTP, CEC, CEM, CHIP, EXT, HKC, MAA, MAF, OPC, OP6, OPU and SAC will be determined by staff at 5503
Renewals occurring October 2013 – March 2014 will be deferred out 6 months (excludes some populations) Original Renewal Month
