Summary
Oregon Health Authority is renaming the Health-Related Services (HRS) program to 'Flexible Funds' starting in 2026 to reduce confusion with Health-Related Social Needs (HRSN) benefits. This is a name change only and will not affect the actual services that coordinated care organizations may report as spending.
Action Required
Before 2026 contracts take effect: Update internal documentation and forms that reference 'Health-Related Services (HRS)' to use 'Flexible Funds' instead. Monitor OHA communications for updated rules and guidance documents. No immediate billing system changes required as this is a name change only.
