AI Summary
This bill addresses maternal and neonatal health care in Oregon by establishing several key provisions. The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) will distribute $6.5 million to Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) to support an entity that advocates for improved maternal and neonatal outcomes, focusing on collaboration, evidence-based practices, and policy changes. The funding will support existing and new sites providing perinatal care and substance use disorder treatment for pregnant individuals and parents of infants. Additionally, the bill requires OHA and coordinated care organizations (CCOs) to reimburse peer delivered services across all clinical settings and provide specific hospital reimbursements for inpatient services related to opioid use disorder treatment and post-delivery care. The bill mandates that OHA submit a report by December 1, 2026, with recommendations for supporting and expanding these programs. These provisions will apply to CCO contracts entered into or amended after January 1, 2026, and the bill will take effect 91 days after the 2025 legislative session adjourns. The OHA may also seek necessary approvals from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to implement these changes.
