Update on Getting the Former Cover Oregon Website Up and Running for Medicaid Patients

Tina Edlund, the head of the Oregon Health Authority was appointed by the Governor to make sure the website is totally working by the next enrollment in November.  

 

She gave the Oregon Health Policy Board an update Tuesday.

 

"When the Governor asked me to oversee the transition, I asked him what he expected from me.  And he said he wanted a working website by November 15th.  So it was pretty straight forward and pretty clear.  So I will make sure its ready by November 15th 2014, the beginning of open enrollment."

 

Edlund says they are on track to name a system integrator by the end of June.

 

Testing of the system will start by August 15th, so there will be three months of testing before enrollment begins.
