AI Summary
This bill requires the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and coordinated care organizations (CCOs) to establish reimbursement rates for hospital labor and delivery services that fully cover the costs of providing those services. Specifically, the bill mandates that fee-for-service reimbursement rates for hospitals treating medical assistance recipients must be at least equal to the actual costs of providing labor and delivery services. The rates must also ensure that hospitals can maintain appropriate staffing levels at all times. The new reimbursement requirements will apply to contracts between CCOs and OHA that are entered into, amended, or renewed on or after the bill's effective date. By ensuring that hospitals are adequately compensated for these critical medical services, the bill aims to support the financial sustainability of maternity care and help maintain access to quality obstetric services for medical assistance recipients in Oregon.
