Transitioning to CareOregon Advantage
We want to make sure your transition to our health plan or your start to a new plan year is as smooth as possible.
If you are currently receiving treatment covered by Medicare, or if treatment was planned prior to you becoming a CareOregon Advantage member, we will cover your treatment during the first 90 days you are on our plan. This is known as “continuity of care.” After 90 days, we will require prior authorization and/or require you to receive your treatment from an in-network provider if it is being provided by a provider that is not in our network.
