Or. Admin. Code § 410-200-0140 - Eligibility for Residents of a Public Institution

(1) A resident of a public institution is not eligible for Health System Division (HSD) Medical Program benefits, except as follows:

(a) For individuals residing in an Institution for Mental Disease (IMD), including the Oregon State Hospital, who are:

(A) Under age 21;

(B) Age 21 if they were admitted to the IMD before their 21st birthday; or

(C) Age 65 or older.

(b) Residents of a public institution may be eligible for OHP Bridge - Basic Health Program benefits if they are awaiting disposition of charges.

(2) For all individuals enrolled in HSD Medical Programs except for OHP Bridge - Basic Health Program who become a resident of a public institution, benefits shall be suspended for the duration of the period in which the individual is a resident of that institution.

(a) The effective date of the suspension of benefits is the day following the date on which an individual becomes a resident of a public institution.

(b) Suspended benefits shall be reinstated effective the date on which an individual ceases to be a resident of a public institution without the need for a new application when:

(A) The Agency learns the individual is no longer a resident of a public institution within the twelve (12) calendar months following the date on which the change occurred; or

(B) The individual leaves the public institution to be admitted to a medical facility as an inpatient with an expected stay of at least 24 hours, provided the medical facility is not associated with the public institution where the individual is a resident.

(c) Once benefits are reinstated as described in subsection (2)(b) of this rule, a redetermination of eligibility shall be processed unless benefits are restored on a case where the existing renewal date is more than two (2) calendar months beyond the month in which the action is being taken.

(3) For individuals enrolled in OHP Bridge - Basic Health Program who become a resident of a public institution, benefits shall be terminated effective the day following the day on which they became a resident of a public institution except that coverage shall be maintained while the individual's charges are pending disposition. In order to regain eligibility for OHP Bridge-Basic Health Program following release from the public institution, the individual must reapply.
