Trained community groups, Tribal health organizations and insurance agents provide expert help in helping people get health coverage. Many of these experts help people sign up for health insurance through OregonHealthCare.gov, a website run by the Oregon Health Insurance Marketplace. The Marketplace primarily helps people get insurance when they do not have coverage available through a job and do not qualify for the Oregon Health Plan, Medicare or another program.
Awardees use these grants to spread awareness of the upcoming Marketplace health insurance open enrollment period, which is Nov. 1 to Jan. 15 for 2025 health coverage. They are available to help Oregonians enroll in coverage through the Marketplace during open enrollment.
Grantees are also available to help people transition to private health coverage if they have experienced a qualifying life event. This includes people who are losing Oregon Health Plan benefits as the state works to renew each of its current members.
Grants totaling $1,043,550 will be awarded to 9 community groups, one Tribal health organizations and 29 insurance agents. Grantees were judged on multiple criteria, including their demonstrated ties to community networks with an emphasis on hard-to-reach populations, and capacity to serve consumers whether they are eligible for Marketplace health plans or other programs, such as the Oregon Health Plan or Medicare. Grantees represent and serve Oregon's diverse populations and offer services in multiple languages, including Arabic, Asian languages, Russian, Spanish, and Ukrainian.
