Cover Oregon allows carriers to offer plans that demonstrate innovation through the use of networks, wellness programs, or other options that do not include premiums or benefits.

ATRIO will offer an innovative plan designed to exclude from the cost of coverage those treatments that, proven through evidence-based medicine, do not improve the health status of the patient. Our Pioneer Plans are modeled after the OHP Prioritized List and are referred to as Evidence-Based Health Plans.
