Open enrollment for most insurance plans is currently underway, and OHSU encourages all Oregonians to sign up, renew or change their health care insurance during open enrollment. Those without employer-provided health insurance can enroll through healthcare.gov through Dec. 15.

Having health insurance can lead to better health. Individuals with regular access to health care are more likely to seek preventive services and earlier treatment, and are able to better manage chronic conditions.

The Oregon Health Insurance Marketplace has made it possible for thousands of Oregonians to access health care. To learn more about the enrollment process and the types of coverage available for individuals and families, visit OregonHealthCare.gov.
