OHA is seeking a few people to serve on the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) Bridge Advisory Committee. OHP Bridge launched in 2024 to provide health coverage at no cost for people who earn slightly too much to qualify for traditional Medicaid benefits. Learn more about OHP Bridge here.
The advisory committee, which also uses the acronym OBAC, helps guide OHP Bridge benefits and provides recommendations to OHA and Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS). The committee’s goal is to create a space for OHP Bridge members, advocates, and health care administrators to inform OHP Bridge operations.
Ideal committee members are passionate about increasing access to high-quality health coverage and eliminating health inequities in Oregon. We’re seeking applicants from across the state to fill the following three positions:
One OHP Bridge member
One health care provider
One health equity specialist
Members can expect to spend roughly five to six hours a quarter on committee-related work and will serve for two-year terms. Meetings are currently virtual and will be held every three months. Members may be eligible to receive compensation for their time.
Interested applicants can find the application HERE. Application deadline is Aug. 31. OHA will announce advisory committee members in September, and selected members will attend their first meeting Oct. 16 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
