Patient Medicaid and OHP Information

While Ronald McDonald House Charities RMHC does not charge a fee or ask families to pay for their stay, we do work closely with state Medicaid (Oregon Health Plan OHP, Washington, Alaska and Idaho State Medicaid) to obtain lodging reimbursement for a family's stay. This funding helps RMHC ensure families are able to stay at no cost. If the patient is still in utero or a newborn, the parents medicaid information can be entered in.
