Bill > HB2207

This bill modifies Oregon's existing law regarding external quality reviews of Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs), which are healthcare entities that provide medical services to Oregon Health Plan recipients. The bill requires the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to conduct one external quality review of each CCO annually and mandates that the OHA adopt evaluation standards aligned with the National Committee for Quality Assurance's health plan accreditation standards. If a CCO has already received accreditation from this national committee for a specific standard, the OHA will accept that as proof of compliance. The bill also establishes guidelines for information collection, prohibiting redundant document requests and ensuring that review organizations first seek information from the OHA before directly approaching CCOs. Additionally, the bill specifies that these amendments will become operative on January 1, 2026, and take effect 91 days after the 2025 regular legislative session adjourns. The legislation aims to streamline the review process for CCOs while maintaining rigorous quality assessment standards.
