Chapter 109, (2026 Laws): Effective date April 7, 2026.
Summary
The 2026 health‑care act revises how hospitals screen patients for financial help, changes licensing requirements for residential care administrators and naturopathic doctors, and expands insurance coverage for anesthesia and dental services. It also adjusts Medicaid advisory and evidence‑review bodies, limits prior authorization for low‑cost rehab equipment repairs, and allows certain correctional‑facility residents to receive prerelease medical assistance. These changes aim to simplify access to care, reduce administrative burdens, and broaden coverage options for Oregon residents.
