Bill > SB756

This bill requires the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs) to reimburse the cost of clinically validated blood pressure cuffs when they are prescribed to medical assistance recipients for self-monitoring of blood pressure. The legislation adds a new section to Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) chapter 414, which governs medical assistance programs. By mandating reimbursement for these medical devices, the bill aims to support medical assistance recipients in managing their own health by providing them with the tools to track their blood pressure at home. The term "clinically validated" suggests that only blood pressure cuffs that meet specific medical standards and have been proven effective will be eligible for reimbursement, ensuring that recipients receive high-quality medical equipment.
