Health-related services funds
CareOregon wants to make sure your unique health needs are addressed, so you are as healthy as possible. That’s why your benefits include access to a fund for what the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) calls “health-related services.”
This fund covers items or services that will help keep you healthy, and that you might not expect would be paid for by your health plan.
Health-related services funds help you get and stay healthy.
Here are some examples:
Phone/video appointments: A cell phone, tablet, an internet connection for better
access to providers, etc.
Food support: Meal delivery, food vouchers, farmers market funds, etc.
Housing support: Furniture, application fees for housing or a state-issued ID, moving
costs, etc.
Living environment: Air conditioners, athletic shoes, items that improve mobility,
etc.
Comfort items: Weighted blankets, sleep aids, vouchers for yoga classes, etc.
These funds are meant to fill needs until a permanent plan is in place.
How do I request health-related services?
A request form needs to be filled out and submitted to CareOregon by email or fax. You have a couple of options:
- If you have questions or would like help filling out the application form, contact CareOregon Customer Service at customerservice@careoregon.org or 503-416-4100, toll-free
800-224-4840 or TTY

- You can also fill out and return the form yourself, or with the help of a parent, a caregiver, or a guardian/support/trusted friend, or a staff member from an organization or clinic.
