Bill Summary

(Flesch Readability Score: 69.9). Requires the Oregon Health Authority to study potential changes to the coordinated care or- ganization quality incentive program administered by the authority.

AI Summary

This bill directs the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to conduct a study focusing on potential equity-focused changes to the coordinated care organization (CCO) quality incentive program. Coordinated care organizations are networks of healthcare providers that work together to provide comprehensive medical services, typically within state Medicaid programs. The bill specifically requires OHA to submit a report to the legislative committees responsible for health matters by September 15, 2026, which may include recommendations for future legislation. The bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study requirement on January 2, 2027, meaning the legislative mandate will expire after the report is submitted. By emphasizing equity-focused changes, the bill suggests an intent to examine how the CCO quality incentive program might be improved to address potential disparities in healthcare access or outcomes.
