Summary
Oregon Medicaid clarifies that Certified Recovery Mentors (CRMs) can now enroll as Oregon Medicaid rendering providers but must be employed by licensed substance use disorder programs and cannot be listed as billing providers. The employer organization must bill for CRM services while listing the CRM as the rendering provider.
Action Required
Oregon practices employing Certified Recovery Mentors: Ensure CRMs complete Oregon Medicaid provider enrollment as rendering providers using 'Traditional Health Worker (billed by an organization)' forms. Update billing workflows to list CRM as rendering provider while organization remains the billing provider on all Medicaid claims.
