Summary
Effective January 1, 2022, Oregon requires secure transport providers of children to obtain Child Caring Agency (CCA) licensure when transporting to/from licensed facilities. This affects non-emergent medical transportation (NEMT) billing for Oregon Health Plan members under 21 years old.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team must verify that all secure transport providers for Oregon Health Plan pediatric patients (under 21) have CCA licensure when transport involves licensed facilities. Contact transport providers to confirm compliance or risk claim denials. Update provider network to exclude non-compliant secure transport providers.
