Oregon law guarantees you the right to have protected health information sent
directly to you instead of to the person who pays for your health insurance
plan (the primary account holder).
You can have this information shared with you directly through a number of
different ways:
- Email
- Telephone
- At a different mailing address
To make this request, complete, sign, and send this form to your insurer. You
can send it by mail, fax, or email. Contact your insurance company to find out
where to send your form.

Request for Confidential Communication form.
PLEASE NOTE: If you change insurance companies, you must make
a new request to the new insurance company. Until your request is processed,
the insurance company may continue to send your protected health insurance to
the person who is paying for your health insurance.
