(Flesch Readability Score: 67.7). Directs the Oregon Health Authority to establish a minimum medical loss ratio for coordinated care organizations at 85 percent.

AI Summary

This bill directs the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to establish a minimum medical loss ratio (MLR) of 85 percent for coordinated care organizations (CCOs), which are healthcare networks that provide comprehensive medical services under a single contract. The medical loss ratio is defined as the proportion of a CCO's global budget spent on healthcare services, quality improvement, and fraud prevention activities, as determined by OHA rules consistent with federal regulations. Notably, the bill specifically exempts dental care providers within CCOs from this MLR requirement. The new MLR requirement will apply to all new, amended, or renewed contracts between CCOs and OHA starting from the bill's effective date in 2025. This legislation aims to ensure that a significant majority of CCO funds are directly used for patient care and related quality improvement efforts, rather than administrative overhead or profit.
