I cannot afford OMIP coverage, but I make too much for the Oregon Health Plan and the FHIAP subsidy. Can OMIP help me?
Unfortunately, OMIP depends upon premium payments for a large portion of their funding. OMIP is not a subsidy program. If you do not have a medical condition that you believe would disqualify you in the open market, you may want to apply directly to an insurance carrier in the State of Oregon as those rates most likely will be less than OMIP rates. If you do have a medical condition that you know would disqualify you, you may apply to OMIP. However there are premium payments involved. You may want to contact Oregon SafeNet (1-800-SAFENET) for assistance.
