Relating to medical assistance; and declaring an emergency.

Summary

The law orders the Oregon Health Authority to create a public, data‑driven process for calculating the fixed capitation rates it pays coordinated care organizations (CCOs). It also forces the agency to prepare cost‑impact statements before most new rules and bars any new rule, program or contract change that would cost $1 million or more in a biennium unless required by law. The bill adds financial reserve standards for CCOs, new health‑equity spending mandates, and a three‑year pause on some of those mandates, aiming to improve transparency, control costs, and promote equity in the state’s Medicaid program.
