How to Qualify and Apply for Medicaid in Oregon

The steps below will help you understand how to apply for Medicaid or Medicaid Bridge in Oregon and get care through Kaiser Permanente for yourself or your child.

In addition to your completed Medicaid application, you may be asked to provide other documents, such as:

• Identification
• Proof of U.S. Citizenship or Immigration Status
• Proof of residency (you must live in the state in which you apply)
• Income status

After you’ve been approved for Medicaid or Medicaid Bridge, here’s what you need to do to select Kaiser Permanente:

The Oregon Health Plan will assign you to a CCO.

In order to have Kaiser Permanente as your healthcare provider you must be assigned to Health Share of Oregon (HSO) or PacificSource Community Solutions as your Coordinated Care Organization (CCO). If you are assigned to another CCO, you may be able to change this in the first 30 to 90 days by calling the Oregon Health Plan at 1-800-699-9075 (TTY 711).

Kaiser Permanente may not be taking new Medicaid members right now. Please contact the Coordinated Care Organization (CCO) listed on your Medicaid coverage for more information.
