10 Info for ALL OHP Clients OHP does not cover all health care services. Oregon Health Plan clients receive services based on where health care conditions and treatments are placed on the Prioritized List of Health Services. The Prioritized List of Health Services is a list of health care conditions and their treatments, which are ranked in order of effectiveness. Diseases and conditions that are below the current line of coverage are usually not covered by OHP. However, something that is below the line may be covered if the patient also has an above the line condition that could get better if their below-the-line condition is also treated. The Prioritized List of Health Services is online at OHP covers reasonable services for finding out what s wrong. That includes diagnosing a condition that is below the coverage line. However, in most cases, once it s determined that a diagnosis or treatment is below the coverage line, OHP will not pay for any more services for that condition. Page 2 Helpful phone numbers:
