Starting September 29, 2025, Oregon Medicaid and Oregon Project Independence (OPI) consumers will be able to create a Carina account using their client ID (Prime Number).
Previously, Oregon Medicaid and OPI in-home care consumers needed a verification code from a case manager to join Carina, but that will no longer be the case.
To support a consumer with creating an account after September 29, 2025:
1. Go to carina.org/homecare/medicaid/oregon/
2. Click “Join for Free.”
3. Complete account registration as a “Consumer” by entering the client ID (Prime Number) found on the consumer’s Oregon Health ID card.
4. Consumers can now post jobs and message available providers nearby.
If you encounter issues, please call 1-855-796-0605 or visit carina.org/contactus.
Carina is 100% free through a partnership between Carewell SEIU 503, a RISE Partnership program, and SEIU Local 503, as well as the Oregon Home Care Commission (OHCC). All Carina users are verified.
