Bill > HB3245

This bill directs the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to conduct a comprehensive study on how to calculate global budgets for Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs), which are healthcare providers that manage and coordinate medical services for patients. The study must examine how CCOs invest in key areas including improving health outcomes, enhancing care quality and access, reducing inefficient care delivery, and promoting community health. By December 31, 2025, the OHA is required to submit a report to legislative health committees detailing their findings, which may also include recommendations for potential legislative changes. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage, underscoring the urgent nature of improving healthcare budgeting and delivery methods in Oregon. The legislation aims to create a more nuanced and performance-based approach to determining funding for healthcare organizations by considering their broader impact on patient and community health.
