Bill > HB2222

This bill directs the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to establish a framework for mobile integrated health care providers to participate in the state Medicaid program. The bill defines mobile integrated health care as a patient-centered, collaborative care model that provides services at convenient locations, and defines mobile integrated health care providers as emergency medical services providers, community health workers, or other health care providers. Specifically, the OHA must create rules prescribing criteria for these providers to enroll in the state medical assistance program and provide technical support to help providers and their employers with the enrollment process. The bill appropriates funding from the General Fund for the OHA to implement and manage these new responsibilities, with an explicit note that this does not expand the health services currently covered under the state medical assistance program. The bill includes an emergency clause, making it effective on July 1, 2025, and emphasizes the importance of this legislation for public health and safety.
