Health-related services funds
Columbia Pacific wants to make sure your unique health needs are addressed, so you are as healthy as possible. That’s why your benefits include access to a fund for what the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) calls “health-related services.”
This fund covers items or services that will help keep you healthy, and that you might not expect would be paid for by your health plan.
Health-related services funds help you get and stay healthy.
Here are some examples:
Phone/video appointments: A cell phone, tablet, an internet connection for better access to providers, etc.
Food support: Meal delivery, food vouchers, farmers market funds, etc.
Housing support: Furniture, application fees for housing or a state-issued ID, moving costs, etc.
Living environment: Air conditioners, athletic shoes, items that improve mobility, etc.
Comfort items: Weighted blankets, sleep aids, vouchers for yoga classes, etc.
These funds are meant to fill needs until a permanent plan is in place.
Steps for requesting funds
- Talk to your provider or care coordinator about what’s keeping you from getting and staying healthy. Members of your care team can make requests for health-related services funds.
- If your diagnosis or treatment calls for an item or service not otherwise included in your health coverage, they’ll fill out a form on our website to make the request.
- We’ll let you and the person who made the request know if your request is approved.
If you have any questions about health-related services or other topics, call Columbia Pacific Customer Service at 855-722-8206 or TTY 711 or send us a secure message at colpachealth.org/portal
