Summary
The Oregon Health Authority is opening a public comment period on Oregon's Medicaid Quality Strategy, which will be submitted to CMS for federal approval on September 30, 2025. This is a state-level policy development process affecting Oregon Health Plan (Medicaid) members and providers, with a comment deadline of August 25, 2025. No immediate billing workflow changes are required, but practices serving Oregon Medicaid patients should monitor the final strategy for any coverage or quality reporting changes.
Action Required
By August 25, 2025: Practices serving Oregon Health Plan members may optionally submit public comments on the Medicaid Quality Strategy through the OHA CCO Engagement & Collaboration team. Options include: (1) completing the online survey at Oregon.gov/OHA, (2) registering for one of three public listening sessions on July 29, 2025, or (3) emailing CCOEngagementTeam@oha.oregon.gov with practice feedback. No action is required at this time, but billing and clinical teams should plan to review the finalized strategy once approved in September 2025 for any subsequent coverage or documentation requirement changes. Monitor OHA communications for the approved strategy's implementation timeline.
