Oregon Association of Health Underwriters (OAHU)

OAHU is a non-profit organization of insurance professionals dedicated to serving the public by strengthening the insurance marketplace, advocating for effective legislation, ethical leadership and professional standards, and by educating our members and the consumers they serve.

The Oregon Association of Health Underwriters (OAHU) is the state's largest association for health insurance agents, brokers and other professionals. Our members help millions of Oregonians find, purchase and use their health care coverage, resulting in greater health and financial security. We recognize the health care system can be overwhelming for consumers who interact with it only occasionally. Through education and training programs, we enhance the ability of our membership to provide better and more complete service. Through our members' community and political involvement we seek to improve communities throughout Oregon. Through our legislative efforts, we have fought for the rights of consumers relative to costs and the ability to continue purchasing health care and the financing for it through the private sector. Our members have a unique understanding of consumer health care needs, the perspective of business owners and the economic realities of health insurance markets.
