About this resource
Nutrition Support is a health-related social need (HRSN) service provided by the Oregon Health Plan that assists members facing health-related issues where nutritional support can enhance health outcomes. This service may encompass: Medically Tailored Meals (MTMs), which include fresh or frozen food, offering up to three meals daily for a maximum 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 health-conscious food choices and guidance on culturally appropriate and person-centered dietary preferences. Pantry stocking supplies a portion of the recommended daily food intake for up to six months, with options for fresh, frozen, dried, pureed, or canned foods delivered as a grocery box or via a pre-loaded card for specific grocery stores. Fruits and vegetables are also included for up to six months, offering various forms like fresh, canned, frozen, or dried, delivered similarly.
Intake Procedure: Interested individuals can call, email, or visit the website for further information. Following an initial screening, a referral is made by the CCO to a registered dietitian for an assessment to validate the need for MTMs and ensure that the MTM care plan objectives are fulfilled.
Fees: There are no associated costs.
