Are you following the heated debate about FamilyCare, which is being told to hand over $55 million to the Oregon Health Authority for alleged overpayments?
In fact, six CCOs have been targeted to pay back $100 million stemming from two wildly different but equally controversial rate calculations.
This story is far from over, and The Lund Report is following every twist and turn, and intends to bring you the latest developments. .
If you want the most in-depth and timely coverage of such critical health policy stories, then it behooves you to make a donation to our gutsy news organization and help us achieve our $31,000 challenge grant.
We’re more than halfway there – having raised more than $21,000, but still have a ways to go and your contribution – no matter how large or small -- definitely makes a difference.
Take it from, Chris Palmedo, a former board member who’s now an associate professor at the CUNY School of Public Health in New York City.
“In healthcare, as much as any other industry, there’s often the story ‘they’ want you to hear, and there’s the real story. While we may disagree about what the real story is, I hope we agree that the Lund Report knows the difference, and works relentlessly to tell us the truth about how our system works.
“Thorough investigative journalism is something we can take for granted – until it’s gone. When no one is there to follow the money, to ask the key questions, or even to frame issues the way they should be, then we all pay. We pay through corruption, through higher premiums, and through a system that’s more focused on the money and less on the patient.
“By contributing to The Lund Report, you are supporting a more transparent, honest and patient-centered health system. Whether you read it all or don’t read it at all, you benefit from its existence. Until it’s gone.
“Don’t let that happen.”
Chris made a very generous contribution to The Lund Report, of which we are most grateful. Here’s how you can follow his lead. We accept tax deductible donations online at https://www.thelundreport.org/donate, or by sending a check to The Lund Report at P.O.Box 82841, Portland 97282, and I’ll be pleased to send you a receipt for tax purposes since The Lund Report is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) organization. And please include a note telling us how you’d like to be acknowledged on our Donor page.
Every dollar of your donation goes to support the healthcare journalism that you’ve come to rely on. It allows us to bring you the latest developments in health policy, healthcare delivery and access in Oregon, and to offer insights into issues that you won’t find elsewhere. In short, your support helps us bring greater transparency to the healthcare system in Oregon!
