  • The cost of a sexual assault medical exam
  • Medications to prevent sexually transmitted diseases
  • Up to five days of HIV medication
  • Emergency contraception
  • Pregnancy test
  • Physician fee
  • Up to 5 counseling sessions

If you are a victim of strangulation the SAVE Fund will pay for:

  • The cost of a strangulation kit/exam (SKIT)
  • Up to 5 counseling sessions.

Applying for the SAVE Fund

Medical providers have SAVE Fund applications on site and will help you complete the short, confidential form. The medical provider will then submit the application, along with a bill, to the Crime Victim and Survivor Services Division.

Victims of sexual assault are also encouraged to apply to the Oregon Crime Victims’ Compensation Program» .
