Transition Project Updates
Beginning November 15, 2014:
• Most Oregonians will be directed to
www.healthcare.gov for the application and
eligibility determination process (regardless if
Oregon Health Plan/Healthy Kids or QHP-eligible).
They will get a real time eligibility determination.
• Some Oregonians will go through the Oregon
Health Authority to apply for OHP/HK
• Oregonians go to www.oregonhealthcare.gov,
answer screening questions, directed where to
apply
Defining Terms
Some of the terminology utilized by the Federal Marketplace is different than
what we typically use in Oregon. Here is how Oregon defines the following:
• Community Partner: An organization that has an ongoing agreement with
the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to provide application assistance.
• Application Assister: Staff/volunteer working under a Community Partner
organization (with an ongoing agreement) that has been certified to assist
Oregonians with the health coverage application process.
• Certified Application Counselor: Certified Application Counselor is the
new term used through the federal government to describe Oregon
Application Assisters. Oregon’s Application Assisters are required to
complete the Certified Application Counselor Curriculum, Benefit Year
2015.
Defining Terms
• Marketplace Medicare Learning Network (MLN): The website Application
Assisters utilize to access the Federal Marketplace training, Certified
Application Counselor Curriculum, Benefit Year 2015;
https://Marketplace.MedicareLearningNetworkLMS.com.
• MLN Login ID: Used for training registration through the MLN system.
Each Application Assister has a unique ID. In Oregon, Application Assisters
can create their own unique IDs, using the prefix OR. (Ex: ORJohnDoe)
• Organization ID: The ID that Community Partner organizations have been
assigned in order for their Application Assisters to be granted access to
case information through OHA.
• Assister ID: A unique ID that is assigned to individual Application Assisters
by OHA’s Business Team. This ID will be used when contacting OHA for
case information.
• Benefit Year 2015: During open enrollment (November 15, 2014-February
15, 2015), Oregonians can apply for and enroll in QHP coverage for
calendar year 2015.
