OregonHealthCare.gov is the state’s website for buying health insurance coverage.
Oregonians buying their own health insurance for 2022 can now see which providers and facilities are covered under various plans as they search for options.
The state’s OregonHealthCare.gov website is open for “window shopping,” allowing consumers to compare plans before open enrollment begins on Nov. 1, the state’s Department of Business and Consumer Services said in a news release.
Open enrollment, the period during which individual Oregonians can buy health insurance plans and may receive subsidies based on income, begins Nov. 1 and lasts until Jan. 15, 2022. People who want coverage beginning Jan. 1 must enroll by Dec. 15.
Most Oregonians who buy coverage through the marketplace qualify for subsidies to lower the cost of premiums.
The state is also for the first time offering its health insurance enrollment site in Spanish at CuidadoDeSalud.Oregon.gov but hasn’t completed translation. It’s expected to be ready by Nov. 1.
