Eastern Oregon Coordinated Care Organization

Nutrition Support is a service related to health-related social needs (HRSN) provided by the Oregon Health Plan, aimed at helping members whose health conditions can benefit from nutritional assistance. This service may include: Medically Tailored Meals (MTMs), which consist of fresh or frozen food, offering up to three meals daily for a duration of six months, delivered to the member's home or private residence, including shelters without meal provisions. Nutrition Education provides evidence-based strategies for making healthy food choices and adopting nutrition-related behaviors, focusing on person-centered, culturally appropriate dietary guidance. Pantry stocking offers a selection of recommended daily food for up to six months, which may include fresh, frozen, dried, pureed, or canned items, delivered as a grocery box or through a pre-loaded card for specific grocery stores. Additionally, a benefit for fruits and vegetables is available for up to six months, including various forms of produce, also delivered as a grocery box or via a pre-loaded card. The intake procedure involves contacting the service via phone, email, or website for more information. Following an initial screening, a referral is made to a registered dietitian to assess the need for MTMs and ensure that care plan goals are met. There are no fees associated with this service.
