ACA Marketplace plans in Oregon

Looking for ACA marketplace health insurance in Oregon? Here is how this coverage lane works specifically for Oregon residents, what it costs, and how to get it.

Oregon residents buy ACA Marketplace plans through Oregon Health Insurance Marketplace. These are comprehensive plans that cover the ten essential health benefits, cannot deny you for a pre-existing condition, and are the only plans eligible for income-based premium tax credits.

Because Oregon runs a state-based marketplace, you enroll at Oregon Health Insurance Marketplace. Plans and prices are set at the county level across Oregon's 36 counties, so two neighbors in different counties can see different options.

Oregon expanded Medicaid, so if your income is low you may qualify for Medicaid instead of a subsidized plan — the Marketplace will tell you when you apply.

Because Oregon expanded Medicaid, a marketplace application may route lower-income adults to Medicaid instead of a subsidized private plan — that is usually good news for cost.

With an approximate uninsured rate near 6.0% and a population of about 4.3 million, Oregon shoppers should re-check subsidies each year as income and household size change.
