Summary

The law requires the Oregon Health Authority and coordinated care organizations to give Medicaid patients the same access to mental health and substance‑use treatment as they receive for medical and surgical care, and it stops the state from penalizing CCOs based on its own templates. It also adds many new provider types that can be paid for tele‑medicine services, with those changes taking effect on Jan. 1, 2027. The bill updates definitions, quality‑assessment rules, and insurance‑coverage requirements to promote consistent, fair treatment across the system.
