People in Oregon can now get an early look at their health coverage options for 2027 with the launch of Oregon Health Authority’s (OHA) Explore Health Plan Guide, a new online tool designed to help people prepare for Open Enrollment. The Plan Guide helps users explore individual health and dental plans available in their area and compare costs, benefits and coverage. Users can also enter their prescription medications and doctors to see which plans may best meet their health needs. The tool provides an assessment for potential eligibility for Oregon Health Plan (OHP) benefits and financial help through the Marketplace, including an estimate of the amount of financial assistance someone may qualify for.
“Choosing health insurance can feel overwhelming, especially when plans and coverage options are changing,” said Chiqui Flowers, director of the Oregon Health Insurance Marketplace. “The Plan Guide gives you a chance to explore options before Open Enrollment begins so you can better understand what coverage and financial help may be available.”
Explore Health is available for people in Oregon who do not have access to affordable health coverage through their job and are not eligible for public medical programs such as the OHP. It is Oregon’s new state-based health insurance marketplace. To explore the Plan Guide or learn more about Open Enrollment, visit ExploreHealthOR.gov. Using the tool does not automatically enroll someone in coverage.
