Do you provide health care in rural Oregon? You may be eligible for a tax credit on your Oregon tax return. New to the program?  Find your licensure and the applicable rules here. For those of you who have participated before, we have a new process. Instead of filling out, printing and mailing your form, enter your information in our secure portal, then mail your $45 processing fee check to our office.

We will process your application as soon as we can, trusting you to mail your check. For EMS volunteers, there is no fee. This process will be faster, more secure and less prone to errors. If you want to retain a copy of what you submit, we suggest screenshots. You will receive your confirmation or denial in email once the application has been processed.
