RE:                Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, OAR 111-040-0001, -0005, -0011, -0020, -0040 & -0050.

_________________________________________________________________________
The Oregon Health Authority, Oregon Educators Benefit Board (OEBB), is proposing to amend Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 111-040-0001, -0005, -0011, -0020, -0040 & -0050. The rule amendments to Division 40 are needed for a variety of reasons. The Oregon Educators Benefit Board (OEBB) and the Public Employees' Benefit Board (PEBB) are working on developing and implementing a new benefit management system. In doing so, many rules and policies are being aligned between the two programs. The proposed amendments to Division 40 reflect some of these changes. The OEBB Board approved the removal of a dental waiting period, therefore this Division needs to be amended to reflect the Board's decision. Additionally, there are some housekeeping amendments throughout this rule that will align OEBB's processes with the rule.

You are being invited to review this proposed rule amendment and to comment. If you wish to present oral testimony, a public hearing will be held via Microsoft Teams on July 24, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. If you wish to participate, below is the remote rules public hearing information:
