About this resource

Flexible Services, referred to as 'flex funds,' are non-covered offerings that supplement the benefits of the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) through Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs) aimed at enhancing care delivery and promoting overall member health and wellness. The eligibility for these services is determined by the CCO. Available services may include, but are not limited to: -Housing assistance (such as rent support, rental deposit help with a move-in date, utility payments, and housing programs for women and children) -Short-term motel accommodations (for individuals discharged from hospitals, facing severe weather conditions, awaiting a new home move-in date, or escaping domestic violence) -Electronics like cellphones, computers, and communication devices -Educational materials and classes -Family and home resources (e.g., child health and safety items, parenting programs, household 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. It is important to note that these services are not meant for emergency situations, and CCOs are not obligated to provide them. Since flexible services are not classified as covered benefits, any denial cannot be appealed; however, OHP members have the option to file a complaint.
