6 INTRODUCTION AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: What is the Oregon Health Plan (OHP)? The Oregon Health Plan (OHP) is a program that pays for low-income Oregonians health care. The State of Oregon and the US Government s Medicaid program pay for it. OHP does not cover everything. A list of the 498 diseases and conditions that are covered, called the Prioritized List of Health Services, is on the web at The diseases and conditions below line 498 usually are not covered by OHP. Something that is below the line could be covered if the patient has an above-the-line condition that could get better if their below-the-line condition gets treated. What is a Coordinated Care Organization (CCO)? Eastern Oregon Coordinated Care Organization (EOCCO) is a Coordinated Care Organization (CCO). We are a group of all types of health care providers who work together for people on OHP in our community. The providers in our CCO are: Greater Oregon Behavioral Health, Inc.: GOBHI will help provide your mental healthcare and services. Moda Health.: Moda Health will help provide your medical, pharmacy, substance use disorder and chemical addiction treatment, care and services. GOBHI and Moda Health work with clinics, doctors, nurses and hospitals to supply your care. EOCCO offers care in these counties: Baker Malheur Union Sherman Wallowa Gilliam Grant Harney 5

7 Lake Morrow Umatilla Wheeler EOCCO works with providers to arrange your care. We work to give you the best care we can. Our staff may contact you to help set up your care. We may contact you after an appointment to help you understand your care plan. We may call to remind you about appointments. We may ask how we can help you get healthier. When you see more than one provider, we will help set up your care. We will suggest you see your provider for routine care. Intensive Care Coordination Services Intensive Care Coordination Services (ICCS), formerly Exceptional Needs Care Coordination (ENCC), is for people with complex medical or special needs. It helps members who are aged, blind or have disabilities, and children with special needs. Members who need special medical supplies or equipment or who will need support in getting care may ask for help from our ICCS team. Please call our Customer Service Department for help from the EOCCO ICCS team. What is a Patient-centered Primary Care Home (PCPCH)? We want you to get the best care possible. One way we try to do that is ask our providers to be recognized by the Oregon Health Authority as a Patientcentered Primary Care Home (PCPCH). That means they can receive extra funds to follow their patients closely, and make sure all their medical and mental health needs are met. You can ask at your clinic or provider s office if it is a PCPCH. What is the Community Advisory Council (CAC)? EOCCO Community Advisory Councils work to get member ideas about how to improve the service EOCCO and its provider organizations offer members. They identify improvement opportunities and provide suggestions about EOCCO programs. They also organize activities and projects that engage fellow EOCCO members and the community on health issues. To get involved, find out more about the CAC, or share an idea, please call GOBHI at

8 What are managed care and fee-for-service? CCOs are a type of managed care. Another type is Dental Care Organizations (DCOs). The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) wants OHP members to have their care managed by private companies. OHA pays managed care companies a set amount each month to provide this care. In some parts of Oregon, most OHP members must get managed medical and dental care. Health services for OHP members not in managed care are paid by OHA, called fee-for-service (FFS). Native Americans and Alaska natives on OHP can choose to receive managed care or FFS. Any OHP member who has a good reason to receive FFS medical care can ask to leave managed care. Talk to your case worker about the best way to receive your medical care. What if I receive a bill for covered services? If your health care provider sends you a bill, don t pay it. Please call Customer Service at (TTY: 711) right away. Do I have a Co-Pay? No, EOCCO will not collect co-pays. If your health care provider asks you for a co-payment, don t pay it. Please call Customer Service at (TTY: 711) right away. New members If you need medical care before you receive your ID card, your covered services will be paid. These services may include prescriptions, supplies and other items you need. Please call Customer Service at (TTY 711) and we will help you find a provider and get the care you need. HOW YOUR PLAN WORKS EOCCO is a managed care plan. As a member of EOCCO, you choose or are assigned a clinic or doctor s office as your primary care provider (PCP). Your PCP will work with you as a partner to take care of your medical needs. Your PCP will provide access for you to medical care 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call your PCP before you get medical care. See the Provider Directory for your PCP s telephone number or call our Customer Service Department. 7

9 Your PCP will: Provide all of your routine care and look after all your healthcare needs Arrange for specialty or hospital care when needed Write prescriptions Keep your medical records in one place to give you better service Do not wait until you are sick to call your PCP. Call your PCP s office and let them know you are an EOCCO member and have selected or been assigned to them as your PCP. Ask about office hours and how to get help after hours or when you have an emergency. Care Teams EOCCO also has a team of nurses, behavioral health specialists and health care coordinators that are ready to help you with your specific health care needs. Working with you, your providers, and community resources we make sure you feel comfortable, safe and cared for. Our care program helps you to manage your chronic health condition such as diabetes, heart failure, asthma, depression or substance use. If you have been in the hospital, our Care Teams can talk with you about how to live well and feel better. We can help you make the most of your provider visits and connect you with helpful community resources. We also can help you understand your PCP s treatment plan. We work closely with your health care providers to make sure you have the help you need because we want to help you reach your health goals. To talk with a Care Team member, call Healthcare Services at (TDD/TTY users dial 711). Oregon Health ID card The Division of Medical Assistance Programs (DMAP) will send you an Oregon Health Identification (ID) card when you first enroll into OHP. Each OHP member in your household will receive their own ID card. Take your Oregon Health ID card with you when you go for medical care and to the pharmacy. If you lose your Oregon Health ID card, contact your DHS worker or Client Services at to get a new one. DMAP also sends you an important coverage letter. It has your case worker s ID and phone number, your OHP benefit package, your copays (if 8

10 any) and which managed care plans you have. The coverage letter shows information for everyone in your household who has an Oregon Health ID card. EOCCO medical ID card Each member of EOCCO also gets an EOCCO medical ID card. This card is very important because it identifies you as an EOCCO member and has other important information. It tells you what to do in an emergency and lists the Customer Service phone numbers. Be sure to show your EOCCO medical ID card and Oregon Health ID card each time you go to the doctor or pharmacy. Your PCP assignment Members living in North Lake, Morrow and Umatilla counties will be assigned a primary care provider (PCP). If you wish to choose a different PCP, you have 30 days to choose one from the Provider Directory located in the back of this book. Call our Customer Service Department and let us know you want to choose a different PCP. If approved, your new PCP selection will be effective the first day of the month or the first day of enrollment in which your PCP change was made. Members living in all other service areas will have the option to choose their own PCP. You will have 30 days to choose one from the Provider Directory located in the back of this book. Call our Customer Service Department and let us know the PCP you have chosen. If approved, your new PCP selection will be effective the first day of the month or the first day of enrollment in which your PCP change was made. If you do not choose a PCP within your first 30 days of enrollment, we will choose one for you. Call our Customer Service Department if you need assistance choosing a provider. 9

11 Changing your PCP If you would like to change your PCP, you may do so during the first 30 days of your enrollment. You also can change your PCP up to two times every six months. To choose a new PCP, use the Provider Directory located in the back of this book. Once you have chosen your PCP, call our Customer Service Department and tell us your selection. If approved, your new PCP selection will be effective the first day of the month or the first day of enrollment in which your selection was made. Be sure to have each eligible member of your family choose a PCP. Each person can have a different PCP. GETTING CARE How to make a doctor s appointment Call your PCP s office during office hours (normally 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). If you need your PCP s phone number, check the Provider Directory or call our Customer Service Department. Tell the office you are an EOCCO member, and tell them why you would like to see a provider. If possible, give the PCP office a telephone number where you can be reached. Remember to take your Oregon Health ID card and EOCCO medical ID card with you when you go to your appointment. If you need language or sign language interpretation, tell the clinic staff. They can arrange to have an interpreter at your appointment. If you need help getting to your appointment, call your DHS worker in advance. Your DHS worker may be able to help you get transportation to your appointment. How to make an appointment to see a Mental Health Provider You do not need a referral from your PCP to get mental health services. You may call a mental health provider listed in your EOCCO Provider Directory. 10

12 If you cannot keep your appointment Call the provider s office as soon as you can and let them know you cannot keep your appointment. The office will reschedule your appointment and make the cancelled time available for someone else. If you miss too many appointments, your provider may dismiss you as a patient or ask why this is happening. Your provider may work with you to find out what can be done to meet your need for services. Your DHS worker may be able to help you get money for child care so you can go to your appointment. Interpreter services If you are hearing or sight impaired or need help understanding or speaking English, your provider will arrange for an interpreter for you. You may also call our Customer Service Department to get a translation or an interpreter. Your PCP s office can get an interpreter after business hours if you need one for an urgent or emergency call. Seeing a specialist or other provider If you need to see a specialist or provider other than your PCP, you must see your PCP first for most services. Your PCP will decide whether you should see another provider. If you need to see another provider, your PCP will write a referral. EOCCO must approve the referral before you can go to your appointment. Services that do not require a referral Some services do not require a referral, and you can see any contracted provider. Below are examples of services that do not require a referral: Urgent and emergency care Family planning and birth control Routine vision exam Prenatal care Immunizations (shots) Outpatient services for drug or alcohol problems Women s annual gynecological exams Routine laboratory and radiology services Mental Health 11

13 Services that require prior approval Your PCP will contact EOCCO to request a prior authorization. Below are examples of services that require prior authorization. In-patient hospital stays Surgeries Medical equipment Most specialist services How to Get a Second Opinion If your provider gives you a diagnosis or gives you a plan to treat a medical condition and you want to get a different opinion from another provider you can request a second opinion. To request a second opinion call Customer Service and ask for one. After-hours medical care If you need medical attention or advice when your PCP s office is closed, call the PCP clinic s regular phone number. An answering service may answer. Say that you are an EOCCO member. You will get advice or a referral for care. After-hours calls to your PCP should be for urgent medical conditions only. For routine advice and appointments, call your PCP s office during business hours. Emergency care An emergency is an injury or sudden illness that you believe may put your life in serious danger or cause bodily harm if left untreated. If you are pregnant, emergency services also include your unborn baby s health. Below are examples of emergencies: Broken bones Bleeding that does not stop Suspected heart attack Loss of consciousness Seizure Severe pain If you have an emergency, call or go to the emergency room. 12

14 Emergency care is covered 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You have the right to get services at any hospital for emergency care. Emergency care includes services needed to maintain and stabilize your condition. No referral or authorization is required for emergency care. Please call your PCP or our Customer Service Department within 3 days of receiving emergency care. After your emergency condition is stabilized, you may need follow-up care. Follow-up care includes services needed after you are discharged from the emergency room. Follow-up care is not an emergency. You should call your PCP s office to make arrangements if follow-up care is needed. Do not go to the emergency room for care that should take place in your PCP s office. Below are examples of nonemergency routine care: Sore throat Cold Flu Back pain Tension headache If you are not sure if your condition is serious enough to go to an emergency room, call your PCP s office. Someone is available to give you advice 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Speak to the provider on call, even if he or she is not your usual provider. Emergency care when you are away from home If you travel outside the EOCCO service area and have an emergency, go to the nearest emergency room or call Emergency services are only covered as long as the emergency exists. Please call your PCP to arrange for further care if it is needed while you are out of the area. OHP does not cover services outside the US, including Canada and Mexico. Mental Health Crisis A mental health emergency is a situation where your health or safety, or the safety of others, would be in serious danger if you did not get help right 13

15 away. A crisis means a person needs help quickly so the situation does not become an emergency. If you already have a provider: Your provider s office will tell you how to reach them during a mental health crisis. If you are having a crisis, follow the plan made with your mental health professional. If you feel you need services immediately, call your provider s office and ask for an urgent appointment or call 911. Things to look for if you or someone you know is having a mental health crisis: You, or a member of your family, are considering suicide You, or a member of your family, are hearing voices to hurt yourself or another person Hurts other people, animals or property You, or a member of your family, has dangerous or highly disruptive behaviors at school, work, with friends or with family Suicide Prevention One concern that may come with untreated mental illness is a risk of suicide. With appropriate treatment, your life can improve dramatically. What are the most common warning signs? Some estimate as many as 80% of those thinking about suicide want others to be aware of their emotional pain and stop them from dying. A warning sign does not automatically mean a person is going to attempt suicide, but it should be taken seriously. Suicide Warning Signs: Talking about wanting to die or to kill oneself Planning a way to kill oneself, such as buying a gun Talking about feeling hopeless or having no reason to live Talking about feeling trapped or in unbearable pain Talking about being a burden to others Giving away prized possessions Thinking and talking a lot about death Increasing the use of alcohol or drugs 14

16 Acting anxious or agitated; behaving recklessly Withdrawing or feeling isolated Displaying extreme mood swings Never keep talk of suicide a secret! For more information, the Oregon Youth Suicide Prevention website is: If you want to talk with someone outside your mental health plan, call any of the following: SUICIDE ( ) Suicide Prevention Lifeline TALK (8255), online at suicidepreventionlifeline.org The David Romprey Memorial Warmline at: How to Get Help for a Mental Health Crisis: See the provider directory at the end of this handbook for the emergency phone number for the Mental Health Provider in your county. Urgent medical care An urgent medical condition is serious enough to be treated right away but does not require emergency room care. If you have an urgent medical problem, call your PCP s office. You can call anytime, day or night. Identify yourself as an EOCCO member. You will be given advice or a referral for care. Health and prevention education EOCCO will pay up to $50 for you to attend a childbirth preparation class at your local hospital. Contact Customer Service for more information. PLAN BENEFITS AND SERVICES Please see the Oregon Health Plan Client Handbook for more information on the Oregon Health Plan that may not be included in this handbook. Some services may be covered by DMAP that are not covered by EOCCO. 15

17 Oregon Health Plan (OHP) coverage The OHP covers a full range of services, including preventive and routine care, chemical dependency and much more. The following services are covered under the Plan. Preventive care Your PCP will provide general medical care and preventive care. Preventive care includes checkups and any tests to find out what is wrong. Be sure to discuss the recommended schedule for checkups with your provider. Other preventive services include: Well-child exams Immunizations (shots) for children and adults (not for foreign travel or employment purposes) Routine physicals Pap smears Mammograms (breast X-rays) for women Prostate screenings for men Maternity and newborn care Specialty care If you need specialty care, your PCP will refer you to a specialist. Before you see a specialist, you must see your PCP for a referral. Lab tests, X-rays and other procedures Labs, X-rays and other tests are covered when ordered by your PCP or an authorized specialist. Prescription medications Prescriptions can be filled at any Moda Health Network pharmacy. Information on participating pharmacies is in the Provider Directory. Be sure to show both your EOCCO medical ID card and Oregon Health ID card when filling a prescription. Some medications require both cards in order to process the prescription. You may not be able to get a prescription filled without them. Some medications are only covered with prior approval. Your provider will contact Moda Health to get prior approval if it is needed. Some over-thecounter items are covered with a written prescription from your provider. 16

18 Please call the Moda Health Pharmacy Department at if you have any questions about your pharmacy benefits. Prescription coverage for members on Medicare OHP is not the primary plan for prescription drug coverage for members also enrolled in Medicare. Instead, a federal program called Medicare prescription drug coverage will cover most of your prescription drugs. This drug benefit is Part D of your Medicare coverage. Medicare requires copayments for Part D drug coverage. Most Part D plans will charge you a copayment for your prescription drugs. These copayments can range from $0 to $6.35 per prescription. EOCCO will not pay for any portion of your Part D copayments. If you have Medicare Part D, show the ID card provided by your Part D plan to the pharmacy and your EOCCO medical ID card. The pharmacy is required to bill your Part D plan first; EOCCO will not pay for drugs covered by your Part D plan. If your medication is not covered by your Part D plan, EOCCO can then be billed to determine if the medication is covered under the OHP program. EOCCO will continue to pay for all other covered health services. Prescription coverage for Mental Health We do not cover all prescriptions. Most medications that people take for mental illness are paid for by OHP fee-for-service. Please show your pharmacist your Oregon Health ID card and your EOCCO ID cards. The pharmacy will know where to send the bill. Family planning For family planning services, you may see your PCP, any EOCCO provider, the county health department, a family planning clinic or any provider who will take your EOCCO ID card. You do not need a referral from your PCP for family planning services. Covered family planning services include: Physical exams Lab and X-ray services Birth control education Birth control supplies Sterilization services 17

19 Hospital care If you need hospital care, your PCP will get approval for a hospital stay. Except in emergencies, call your PCP before you go to the hospital.
