A new, better way to get covered

Affordable, quality healthcare for Oregon’s long-term care workers

Open enrollment starts November 1

Open enrollment is the time to sign up for medical coverage through the Essential Worker Healthcare Trust! Through the EWHT, you and your family can sign up for excellent health insurance through one of our two providers: Regence PPO, or Kaiser Permanente HMO.

Already have a plan with the EWHT? You can make changes during open enrollment, like adding dependents or switching carriers. If you’re happy with the EWHT plan you have, you don’t need to do anything: your plan will automatically renew in 2024!
