Oregon Health Plan Eligibility Calculator

Reviewed by Calculator Editorial Team

Determine your eligibility for the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) with this free calculator. The Oregon Health Plan provides health coverage to low-income individuals and families who meet specific income and household size requirements. This calculator helps you quickly check if you qualify based on your household income and size.

How the Oregon Health Plan Eligibility Calculator Works

The Oregon Health Plan eligibility calculator uses the federal poverty guidelines adjusted for Oregon's cost of living. The key factors it considers are:

  • Household size
  • Annual household income
  • Whether you're a U.S. citizen or legal resident
  • Your age and disability status

The calculator compares your income to the federal poverty level (FPL) for your household size. If your income is at or below 138% of the FPL, you may qualify for OHP.

The federal poverty level is updated annually by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. These guidelines are used to determine eligibility for federal programs including the Oregon Health Plan.
