Our mission
The Oregon Health Insurance Marketplace empowers Oregonians to improve their lives through local support, education, and access to affordable, high-quality health coverage by:
- Overseeing the health insurance products sold to Oregonians through HealthCare.gov.
- Providing free, local enrollment assistance to Oregonians.
- Raising awareness among consumers about health insurance options available in Oregon.
- Working with carriers, agents, community partners, and other stakeholders to get more people enrolled.
- Training and certifying community partners to be able to provide choice counseling services to Oregonians.
Following Oregon's transition to a state-based marketplace, the Marketplace will assume responsibility for:
- Facilitating and managing applications submitted through the state-based marketplace platform.
- Training and certifying insurance agents to guide Oregonians through the application and enrollment process.
- Providing constituent services for escalated case issues, problem solving, and handling appeals.
- Assessing enrollment data to inform health coverage policy decisions, systemic improvements, and outreach strategy.
- Training for, managing and facilitating consumer support through the state consumer assistance center.
