Overview

The Oregon Educators Benefit Board (OEBB) provides a comprehensive selection of benefit plan options for most of Oregon’s K-12 school districts, education service districts and community colleges, as well as a number of charter schools and local governments across the state. OEBB started offering medical, dental, and vision coverage in 2008 and has since added a broad range of additional benefits including life, accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D), short-term and long-term disability and long-term care insurance, as well as an employee assistance program (EAP), a health savings account (HSA), flexible spending accounts (FSAs), and beginning October 1, 2015, commuter savings accounts. OEBB supports member health by providing those enrolled in an OEBB medical plan with no-cost access to participate in evidence-based and clinically proven health-promoting programs such as Weight Watchers®, MoodHelper, Healthy Team Healthy U, and Better Choices Better Health®. OEBB currently provides benefits for almost 150,000 actively employed or retired Oregon educators and their families.

Coordinated Care: The Oregon Difference

Through the Coordinated Care Model (CCM), Oregonians are experiencing improved, more integrated care. With a focus on primary care and prevention, health plans using the coordinated care model are able to better manage chronic conditions and keep people healthy and out of the emergency department.

Key elements of the coordinated care model include:

OEBB works diligently to incorporate these elements into all OEBB medical plans, but they are particularly evident in the structure of the Moda Health Synergy and Summit plans as well as the healthcare delivery system inherent in the Kaiser Permanente plans.
