The law will establish coordinated care organizations for Oregon Health Plan members that will focus on the integration of services, prevention, reduction of administrative overhead and improvement of patient-centered care models.
A third-party analysis found that the coordinated care organizations could save more than $1 billion in Medicaid costs over three years and more than $3.1 billion in total fund costs over five years.
The state has to receive a federal approval before creating the new provider groups.
