Health Share Of Oregon

Flexible Services, commonly referred to as 'flex funds,' are supplementary non-covered services that enhance the benefits of the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) through Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs) aimed at improving care delivery and overall health for members. Eligibility for these services is assessed by the CCO. Examples of services may include: -Housing assistance (such as rent support, rental deposit aid with a move-in date, utility payments, and housing programs for families) -Temporary motel accommodations (for those discharged from hospitals, facing severe weather, needing a short-term stay before moving into a new home, or escaping domestic violence) -Communication devices like cellphones and computers -Educational resources and classes -Family and home support items (e.g., child safety products, 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, and they are not designed for emergency situations. CCOs are not obligated to provide these services, and since they are not covered benefits, denials cannot be appealed, though OHP members can file complaints.
