SB 204 Stakeholder Workgroup

Senate Bill 204 requires that the Oregon Health Authority convene and be advised by a work group consisting of providers, insurers and consumers for the purposes of OHA prescribing by rule a uniform payment methodology for hospital and ambulatory surgical center services that:

1. Incorporates the most recent Medicare payment methodologies established by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or similar payment methodologies, for hospital and ambulatory surgical center services;
    
   
2. Includes payment methodologies for services and equipment that are not fully addressed by Medicare payment methodologies; and
    
   
3. Allows for the use of alternative payment methodologies, including but not limited to pay-for-performance, bundled payments and capitation.
