Summary
During the federal public health emergency, Oregon Medicaid allows contracting with telehealth-only providers as long as members can still request in-person services through a referral process. Provider directories no longer need to include street addresses for telehealth-only providers during the PHE.
Action Required
Immediately: Oregon practices should update provider directory listings to identify telehealth-only providers and remove street address requirements where applicable. Billing teams must ensure referral processes are established for members requesting in-person services from telehealth-only providers. Review contracts with coordinated care organizations to confirm telehealth-only provider arrangements comply with new guidelines.
