ORS 414.725 - Prepaid managed care health services contracts - 2007 Oregon Revised Statutes
2007 ORS Vol. 10 Chapter 414 Section 414.725
ORS 414.725¹
(1)(a) Pursuant to rules adopted by the Department of Human Services, the department shall execute prepaid managed care health services contracts for health services funded by the Legislative Assembly. The contract must require that all services are provided to the extent and scope of the Health Services Commission’s report for each service provided under the contract. The contracts are not subject to ORS chapters 279A and 279B, except ORS 279A.250 (Definitions for ORS 279A.250 to 279A.290) to 279A.290 (Miscellaneous receipts accounts) and 279B.235 (Condition concerning hours of labor). Notwithstanding ORS 414.720 (Public hearings) (8), the rules adopted by the department shall establish timelines for executing the contracts described in this paragraph.
(b) It is the intent of ORS 414.705 (Definitions for ORS 414.705 to 414.750) to 414.750 (Authority of Legislative Assembly to authorize services for other persons) that the state use, to the greatest extent possible, prepaid managed care health services organizations to provide physical health, dental, mental health and chemical dependency services under ORS 414.705 (Definitions for ORS 414.705 to 414.750) to 414.750 (Authority of Legislative Assembly to authorize services for other persons).
(c) The department shall solicit qualified providers or plans to be reimbursed for providing the covered services. The contracts may be with hospitals and medical organizations, health maintenance organizations, managed health care plans and any other qualified public or private prepaid managed care health services organization. The department may not discriminate against any contractors that offer services within their providers’ lawful scopes of practice.
(d) The department shall establish annual financial reporting requirements for prepaid managed care health services organizations. The department shall prescribe a reporting procedure that elicits sufficiently detailed information for the department to assess the financial condition of each prepaid managed care health services organization and that includes information on the three highest executive salary and benefit packages of each prepaid managed care health services organization.
(e) The department shall require compliance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this subsection as a condition of entering into a contract with a prepaid managed care health services organization.
(2) The department may institute a fee-for-service case management system or a fee-for-service payment system for the same physical health, dental, mental health or chemical dependency services provided under the health services contracts for persons eligible for health services under ORS 414.705 (Definitions for ORS 414.705 to 414.750) to 414.750 (Authority of Legislative Assembly to authorize services for other persons) in designated areas of the state in which a prepaid managed care health services organization is not able to assign an enrollee to a person or entity that is primarily responsible for coordinating the physical health, dental, mental health or chemical dependency services provided to the enrollee. In addition, the department may make other special arrangements as necessary to increase the interest of providers in participation in the state’s managed care system, including but not limited to the provision of stop-loss insurance for providers wishing to limit the amount of risk they wish to underwrite.
(3) As provided in subsections (1) and (2) of this section, the aggregate expenditures by the department for health services provided pursuant to ORS 414.705 (Definitions for ORS 414.705 to 414.750) to 414.750 (Authority of Legislative Assembly to authorize services for other persons) may not exceed the total dollars appropriated for health services under ORS 414.705 (Definitions for ORS 414.705 to 414.750) to 414.750 (Authority of Legislative Assembly to authorize services for other persons).
(4) Actions taken by providers, potential providers, contractors and bidders in specific accordance with ORS 414.705 (Definitions for ORS 414.705 to 414.750) to 414.750 (Authority of Legislative Assembly to authorize services for other persons) in forming consortiums or in otherwise entering into contracts to provide health care services shall be performed pursuant to state supervision and shall be considered to be conducted at the direction of this state, shall be considered to be lawful trade practices and may not be considered to be the transaction of insurance for purposes of the Insurance Code.
(5) Health care providers contracting to provide services under ORS 414.705 (Definitions for ORS 414.705 to 414.750) to 414.750 (Authority of Legislative Assembly to authorize services for other persons) shall advise a patient of any service, treatment or test that is medically necessary but not covered under the contract if an ordinarily careful practitioner in the same or similar community would do so under the same or similar circumstances.
(6) A prepaid managed care health services organization shall provide information on contacting available providers to an enrollee in writing within 30 days of assignment to the health services organization.
(7) Each prepaid managed care health services organization shall provide upon the request of an enrollee or prospective enrollee annual summaries of the organization’s aggregate data regarding:
(a) Grievances and appeals; and
(b) Availability and accessibility of services provided to enrollees.
(8) A prepaid managed care health services organization may not limit enrollment in a designated area based on the zip code of an enrollee or prospective enrollee. [1989 c.836 §6; 1991 c.753 §8; 2003 c.14 §194; 2003 c.735 §13; 2003 c.794 §277; 2003 c.810 §4; 2005 c.806 §8; 2007 c.458 §1]
