Effective date, March 31, 2026.
Summary
The law requires the Oregon Health Authority, coordinated‑care organizations and any health plan that pays for pregnancy and childbirth to also pay for doula and lactation‑counselor services. Coverage must include at least 24 hours (or 12 visits) of care, be available without a referral or prior authorization, and be described on plan websites and printed materials. The changes take effect for contracts that start or renew on or after Jan. 1, 2028, and the bill declares an emergency to make it operative immediately.
