Applying for an Oregon State License

Please note: OR is a "green state" so you may see patients here even without an OR state license. A state license, however, is required in order to become in network with BCBS OR (Regence) and UHC OR, which will expand coverage to patients across the country!

If you have held Oregon licensure in the past and would like to renew it, your renewal expenses will be fully reimbursed and you will still receive the $25 bonus!
