Insurers scramble in newly competitive Oregon Medicaid markets

Medicaid insurers and their members in two of Oregon’s biggest markets – the Portland area and Lane County - are being dunked into a new world of competition and choice. Over the next several months, the state-approved insurers for those two regions -- Health Share of Oregon and Trillium Community Health Plan in Portland, and Trillium and PacificSource in Lane County -- will compete with each other to enlist  Medicaid members.
