Summary
Oregon Health Authority now permits Medicaid plans to contract with telehealth-only providers during the federal public health emergency, provided members have a clear referral process for in-person services upon request. Provider directories no longer require street addresses for telehealth-only providers. This policy clarifies existing rules and does not change billing or coding requirements.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team should review provider network contracts to identify any telehealth-only providers and ensure referral processes for in-person services are documented. No billing code or claim submission changes are required. Update provider directory records to remove street address requirements for telehealth-only providers in Oregon Medicaid plans. Coordinate with credentialing and network management teams to ensure compliance with the referral requirement outlined in OAR 410-141-3566 and OAR 410-120-1990.
