¿Qué son las necesidades sociales?
From a health care perspective, social needs include things like:
- having enough food
- reliable transportation
- a stable place to live
- education
- friends to support you
- access to water and electricity
Cuando no se tiene suficiente de estas cosas, tanto el cuerpo como la mente pueden verse perjudicados. For example, if you can't go to your doctor, can't get fresh food, or your utilities are shut off, it can make life very stressful and hurt your physical health.
But when you do have what you need, like food and a safe place to live, it can help you stay healthy and feel better overall.
Meeting these social needs is really important for your mental and emotional health too. Lo ayuda a forjar buenas relaciones y a ser parte de su comunidad. Estas cosas pueden marcar una gran diferencia en cómo se siente en cuanto a su felicidad y conexión con la sociedad.

What’s the difference between HRSN and Flexible Services?
There are two ways you may be able to get the social needs supports described above. When you submit your request, CareOregon will review it to decide whether it meets eligibility criteria for Health Related Social Needs (HRSN) or Flexible Services based on your information.
Necesidades sociales relacionadas con la salud (HRSN)
- HRSN is a newer Medicaid benefit for members on the Oregon Health Plan.
- This benefit provides specific climate, housing and nutrition items/services.

Flexible Services
- Flexible Services is an existing Medicaid program that helps fill a need that regular Oregon Health Plan benefits don’t cover.
