RE:                Notice of Temporary Rulemaking for OAR 111-080-0065, "Payment for Hospital Services"
___________________________________________________________________________

The Oregon Health Authority, Oregon Educators Benefit Board (OEBB), is temporarily amending OAR 111-080-0065 to clarify how contracted health insurance carriers and third-party administrators shall pay claims for hospital services to comply with requirements of ORS 243.879. This rule clarification will support consistent implementation of the statutory hospital reimbursement maximum across all of OEBB's carriers and third party administrators, and support fiscal stewardship of OEBB health care dollars. The temporary amended rule language takes effect immediately until a permanent rule can be filed.

This rulemaking is effective March 18, 2020 - September 13, 2020.



For more details, please see the attached Statement of Need and Justification and the full text of the temporary rules. In addition, the temporary rules are posted to the OEBB website.<https://www.oregon.gov/OHA/OEBB/Pages/Admin-Rules.aspx>

If you have any questions, please contact me at April.R.Kelly at state.or.us<mailto:April.R.Kelly at state.or.us> or (503) 378-6588.
