Jackson Care Connect pays for many prescription drugs. The ones we cover are on a drug list called a “formulary.” When your provider prescribes a medicine, ask if it’s on the covered drug list. The list is a directory of medications approved for Jackson Care Connect members. It explains if there are special rules about the drug. The list is updated often, so if we remove or change a medication that you take, you’ll be notified in advance. To download and view the drug list, click the link below.
Search for a drug in one of the following ways:
- Find the drug listed in the Formulary/PDF index.
- In the PDF file, enter the drug name into the search box located in the menu.
- Call Customer Service for help finding a drug.
If you want us to send you a printed copy of the formulary, contact Customer Service. There is no charge for this service, and you’ll receive it within five business days.
If you urgently need a drug that’s not on our formulary, call Customer Service. You, your provider or your pharmacist can ask for an emergency 72-hour (maximum) supply. To fill a prescription, go to any pharmacy in our network. You’ll have lots of choices. Our network includes most large pharmacy chains and many independent drug stores.

Language interpreter services
If you need an interpreter for visits or phone calls to your (or your child’s) provider’s office, you are legally entitled to this service free of charge. When you join Jackson Care Connect, you may receive a Preferred Language card. The card informs your provider’s office of your spoken language and will show the language you selected on your Medicaid application. Please show this to your provider to receive interpretation.
For phone interpretation, call Customer Service when you are at the doctor, dentist or pharmacist, or while you are making an appointment.
Please call Customer Service if you have any problems getting an interpreter.

About the Oregon Health Plan
The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) sends you a coverage letter that shows your:
- Benefit package
- Coordinated care plan name
This letter gives information for everyone in your household who has an Oregon Health Plan (OHP) ID card. You do not need to take this letter to your health care appointments or pharmacies. OHA will send you a new coverage letter if you ask for one or if your coverage changes.
OHA sends you one OHP ID card that has your name, Member ID number and the date the card was issued. All eligible members in your household receive their own OHP ID cards.
Keep your OHP ID card in a safe place. OHA only sends a new card if you change your name or ask for a new card. If there are any issues with your OHP ID card, call OHP Customer Service right away at 800-699-9075 (TTY 711).

Complaints and Appeals
How to make a complaint or grievance
If you are unhappy with Jackson Care Connect, your health care services or your provider, you can complain or file a grievance at any time, for anything other than a denial of service. Your provider or authorized representative may also file a grievance on your behalf with your written consent.
We will try to make things better. Just call Customer Service at 855-722-8208, TTY 711 or send us a letter to the address on page 55 of your member handbook, available on this page.
Jackson Care Connect will work to resolve your complaint or grievance as quickly as your health condition requires. If we need more than five business days, we will send you a letter to let you know why. You will receive a final answer within 30 calendar days. We will not tell anyone about your complaint unless you ask us to.
You can also file a complaint with:
Oregon Health Authority (OHA)

Appeals and hearings
If we deny, stop or reduce a medical service your provider has ordered, we will mail you a Notice of Action letter explaining why we made that decision. You have a right to ask to change it through an appeal and a state fair hearing. You must ask for an appeal no more than 60 days from the date on the Notice of Action letter. You can ask for a denial notice that shows a service is not covered if:
- You did not receive a written notice of denial, or;
- Your provider tells you that you will need to pay for a service that is not covered.
For full instructions on the appeals process, please see page 54 of your member handbook, available at the top of this page.
Provider Appeals
Your provider has a right to appeal for you when their physician’s orders are denied by a plan. You must agree to this in writing. Instructions for this process can be found on page 55 of your member handbook.
