The Oregon Health Authority has tentatively certified 11 groups for the state's Medicaid coordinated care program, part of an overhaul of the Oregon Health Plan, according to a Bend Bulletin report.
Coordinated care organizations in Oregon will integrate care for Medicaid patients in an effort to improve care and lower costs. The state and its legislature recently implemented robust healthcare reforms with those goals in mind.
Three organizations were rejected from participating in the state's Medicaid savings program because they didn't meet legal criteria. Another was certified in several counties, but not all it applied to participate in. Under state law, rejected organizations can reapply to become CCOs.
Oregon CCOs must include a governing board and are selected based on levels of community engagement and an ability to integrate medical, mental and dental care.
