Bill Summary

The statement includes a measure digest written in compliance with applicable readability standards. Digest: The Act adds new protections for RCF residents. (Flesch Readability Score: 71.8). Requires a residential care facility to provide a resident with an itemized monthly bill and re- imburse a resident for any services for which the resident paid that the facility did not provide.

AI Summary

This bill introduces new requirements for residential care facilities (RCFs), mandating that they provide more transparent billing practices to their residents. Specifically, the bill requires RCFs to issue a detailed monthly bill to each resident that breaks down the total monthly base rate and lists the cost of each individual service or care provided. Additionally, the bill stipulates that if an RCF charges a resident for a service that is not actually provided, the facility must fully reimburse the resident for those unrendered services. This legislation aims to increase financial transparency and protect residents from potential overcharging by ensuring they receive a clear, itemized accounting of their monthly expenses and are compensated if they are billed for services they did not receive. The bill will be added to the existing Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) covering residential care facilities, specifically within the section numbered 443.400 to 443.455.
