Oregon Among Top States Keeping People Covered

According to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), more than one million people are keeping their Oregon Health Plan benefits due to Oregon's efforts to expand coverage options. In other words, with more than 88 percent of the state’s 1.5 million renewals complete, more than 4 out of 5 Oregonians are keeping their Oregon Health Plan (OHP) or other Medicaid benefits.

For more information and for guidance on how to help OHP members renew their benefits, read the full OHA news release.

Celebrate National Doctors Day on March 30!

National Doctors Day honors the commitment, care and contributions of our physicians. The day was officially designated in 1990 by President George H.W. Bush, though its origins trace back to its initial observance on March 30, 1933. The date celebrates the first use of general anesthesia in surgery by Dr. Crawford W. Long in 1842.

Trillium, Health Net and Wellcare value our provider partners and the care they provide for our members every day.
