Losing health coverage such as Medicaid or Medicaid Bridge is considered a qualifying event that would trigger a Special Enrollment Period. You are eligible to enroll within 60 days of that event.
Renewing Your Medicaid Coverage
Important: Beginning January 1, 2027, federal law requires more frequent renewals and new rules for some adults to keep Medicaid coverage. For the latest updates on Oregon’s Medicaid changes, visit the Oregon Health Plan website.
Once or twice per year, the state will conduct a review to determine if you and/or your family members still meet Medicaid or Medicaid Bridge eligibility requirements. This review process is called renewal.
Here’s how it works:
- Step 1: The state will mail the renewal packet to you and/or your family members 60 days before your renewal date.
- Step 2: Please fill out, sign, and return the forms, along with any extra required information immediately. All information must be completed by the deadline provided by the state to avoid a break in coverage.
You will continue to have benefits throughout this renewal process.
If you no longer qualify for Medicaid or Medicaid Bridge
You’ll have a limited amount of time to act to get other health coverage before your Special Enrollment Period ends. You should quickly see if you are eligible for financial assistance from the government by visiting Oregon Healthcare.
