Tribal Assisters

Resource Coordinators are responsible for screening patients for Oregon Health Plan / Medicaid. If a patient is eligible for Purchased Referred Care (PRC), this is an annual requirement to maintain eligibility. Oregon Health Plan (OHP) is state medical insurance available to Oregon residents for free.

Eligibility depends on multiple factors. Our staff can assist patients with applications for Oregon Health Plan / Medicaid or the Federal Marketplace (for those not eligible for Medicaid).

Resource Coordinators can also help locate other resources for household needs (food, clothing, DME supplies).

The Public Services Coordinator assists community elders with applications for APD and CAPECO. We also work with the state SHIBA office to help with Medicare applications. The Public Services Coordinator Program is a formal partnership between local APD/AAA offices and Tribal Entities.

Programs and services are not always easy to access, and the process can be confusing and complicated. That's why Yellowhawk has partnered with the Oregon Department of Human Services, Office of Aging and People with Disabilities to provide a Tribal Navigator.
