Here are three things to know about the potential impact.
1. OHSU could at some point pull away from Health Share, Oregon’s largest coordinated care organization, and create its own CCO with Moda.
2. According to The Lund Report, the partnership between the two parties could also result in a coordinated care model, designed after the CCOs familiar to Medicaid, that pool together physical, mental health and dental care.
3. Additionally, the strategic alignment allows Moda to compete vigorously with Oakland, Calif.-based Kaiser Permanente and Renton, Wash.-based Providence & Health Services, which both have a health plan component, as well as the new joint venture announced by Portland-based Legacy Health and PacificSource Health Plans, according to The Lund Report.
