Medicare Resources

If you have both, Medicare is your main health plan. It covers things like doctor visits, hospital stays, and prescription drugs. Medicaid helps with extra services, like dental care and rides to your appointments.

You may get better care if the same health plan manages both your Medicare and Medicaid benefits. This helps your doctors and care team work together more easily.

Combine Your Medicare and Medicaid Coverage

Health Share of Oregon helps you get your Oregon Health Plan (Medicaid) benefits through five health plans. Some of these health plans also offer Medicare coverage for members who have both Medicare and Medicaid.

Here’s why:

  • You’ll have one care team to help you get the services you need and connect you to helpful resources.

  • You can see the same doctors for both Medicare and Medicaid services.

  • You can fill all your prescriptions at the same pharmacy.

  • Customer service can answer questions about both Medicare and Medicaid, so you don’t have to call different places.

If you want to learn more about your Medicaid plan’s Medicare option, you can visit their website or call them. They can also help you switch your Medicare plan if needed.

Why It’s Helpful to Have One Health Plan for Medicare and Medicaid

Having the same health plan for both Medicare and Medicaid can make things easier and help you get better care.
