Benefits. Columbia Pacific and OHP pay for covered pregnancy-related services. There’s no cost to you for physical, dental and mental health care, substance use treatment, and prescription drugs. We also cover certain things that support a healthy pregnancy, such as prenatal vitamins, routine eye exams and doulas (trained birth companions).
We can support you in reducing or stopping use of tobacco, alcohol and other drugs. Your primary care provider (PCP), prenatal (pregnancy) provider and Columbia Pacific Customer Service are ready to talk with you about this.
Transportation assistance. You may be eligible for help with transportation to physical, dental and mental health care services, and substance use treatment, that OHP covers.
Depending on your needs, this could mean help with paying for gas, transit fare or getting a vehicle-provided ride. Click here for more information about NW Rides. Tillamook County Transportation District operates NW Rides for Columbia Pacific members in Clatsop, Columbia and Tillamook counties.
Call NW Rides during regular business hours, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, except holidays, to ask if you qualify.

Language interpretation services. Do you need an interpreter for office visits or calls with providers? You’re legally entitled to this, free of charge. Good communication with providers is always important. That’s even more true during pregnancy.
How to request interpretation services. When you make appointments, let your provider know you would like an interpreter. The clinic will schedule the interpretation service. Please call at least 48 hours in advance whenever possible.
OHP coverage for your baby
After your baby is born, you’ll want to enroll your newborn in the Oregon Health Plan (OHP). Enrollment is not automatic.
The hospital can help send a Newborn Notification Form to OHP. If the hospital does not take care of that, please ask Columbia Pacific Customer Service for a copy of the form.
