About this resource

Flexible Services, also known as 'flex funds,' are supplementary non-covered services that complement the benefits of the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) via Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs) aimed at enhancing care delivery and the overall health and well-being of members. The CCO decides eligibility for these services. Examples of services may include: -Housing assistance (such as rent support, rental deposit help with a specified move-in date, utility payments, and housing programs for women and children) -Short-term motel accommodations (for those discharged from hospitals, facing severe weather, having a confirmed move-in date, or escaping domestic violence) -Electronics like cellphones and computers -Educational resources and classes -Family and household resources (e.g., child safety items, parenting programs, home appliances, climate control devices) -Gym memberships and fitness classes/equipment -Support for health and substance use prevention All flexible services are evaluated individually by the CCO. These services are not meant for emergency situations, and CCOs are not obligated to provide them. Since flexible services are not covered benefits, denials cannot be appealed, although OHP members can file complaints.
