Oregon Medicaid is a major payer for substance use care. Your managed care plan name still decides network doors and authorization steps. Note your CCO name on Oregon Health Plan.

Call 911 for emergencies. Call or text 988 for a crisis.

What to verify on your card

Plan name, member ID, behavioral health phone number, and whether you need a referral. Ask specifically about detox, residential, PHP, IOP, and OTP coverage. Confirm your Coordinated Care Organization (CCO) name.

MOUD access

Ask which methadone OTPs and buprenorphine clinics take your plan. Medication access should not wait on a distant residential pitch.

If you are uninsured

Oregon Health Authority / CCO community pathways may apply. Medicaid enrollment may be part of intake.

Broker filter

A national call center that ignores your Oregon plan network to fill an out-of-state bed is not advocating for your coverage.

Common Questions

Does Oregon Medicaid cover rehab?

Often yes when medically necessary, subject to state plan rules, managed care networks, and authorization. Verify for your specific plan name.

What about methadone and buprenorphine?

Federal Medicaid MOUD requirements apply. Ask your plan which OTPs and office-based prescribers are in network.

Is state-funded care the same as Medicaid?

Related but not identical. Uninsured pathways may run through Oregon Health Authority / CCO community pathways.

Will Medicaid pay for out-of-state luxury rehab?

Usually not as a default. Expect in-state network rules unless a rare exception is approved.

How do I start tonight?

Have member ID ready, call the behavioral health number on your card, and search FindTreatment.gov for Medicaid-accepted programs.
