Bill > HB4127

This bill allows the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to pay certain nonprofit reproductive health care providers, referred to as "prohibited entities," for services provided to individuals receiving medical assistance, even if these providers are not eligible for federal Medicaid funds. Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps with medical costs for some people with limited income and resources. The OHA will establish a payment system to reimburse these providers using only state funds, ensuring that claims for services provided on or after July 4, 2025, that are not eligible for federal reimbursement and have not yet been paid, are covered. The bill also includes provisions for a grant program to support these providers and addresses potential overpayments made by coordinated care organizations, which are groups that help manage care for Medicaid recipients. An emergency clause is included, meaning the bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
