What to know about Medicare in Oregon
Oregon runs its own state-based marketplace, the Oregon Health Insurance Marketplace. Beginning with 2027 coverage (open enrollment opening November 1, 2026), Oregonians shop, apply, and enroll through the state-run Explore Health platform (ExploreHealthOR.gov) instead of HealthCare.gov. Oregon has expanded Medicaid through the Oregon Health Plan. Oregon has a Medigap birthday rule that lets existing enrollees switch to a Medigap plan with the same or lesser benefits from any insurer during a window that starts 30 days before their birthday and ends 30 days after it, without medical underwriting.
Medicare is federal, so enrollment windows are the same in every state: the Annual Enrollment Period runs October 15 through December 7, and Medicare Advantage members can make one change between January 1 and March 31. What differs in Oregon is the plan lineup by county, Medigap rules, and which carriers an agent is appointed with. A local agent knows all three.
Medicare Agents in Oregon: common questions
Does it cost anything to work with a Medicare agent in Oregon?
No. Licensed Medicare agents are paid by the insurance carriers when you enroll in a plan, and the premium is the same whether you use an agent or enroll on your own. You never pay the agent a fee.
What is the difference between a Medicare agent and a Medicare broker?
A captive agent represents one carrier. An independent agent or broker is appointed with several carriers and can compare plans across them. Most agents on MeetBrokers are independent. Ask any agent which carriers they represent.
When can I change my Medicare plan in Oregon?
The Annual Enrollment Period runs October 15 through December 7 every year. Medicare Advantage members also get January 1 through March 31 to make one change. Your first chance is the 7-month Initial Enrollment Period around your 65th birthday, and certain life events open a Special Enrollment Period.
How do I check that an agent is licensed?
Ask for their National Producer Number (NPN) and look it up on the NIPR website or your state Department of Insurance site. Agents on MeetBrokers list their NPN on their profile, and verified profiles have had the license confirmed by our team.
Will I be pressured or get spam calls?
You choose exactly which agent may contact you, and only that agent receives your request. We never sell or share your information with other companies.
