OHA met an August 31 deadline set for the agency by Governor Kate Brown.
Governor Brown set the deadline to ensure all Oregonians on Medicaid who are due for an eligibility renewal were assessed as quickly as possible.
OHA kept the federal government informed throughout the Medicaid renewal process.
The 115,233 Medicaid renewals completed under the Action Plan do not change the Medicaid forecast for the 2017-2019 biennium or the state budget.
OHA found that the remaining 22,937 cases determined to no longer qualify for benefits account for little more than 2 percent of the more than one million Oregon Health Plan members.
All current Oregon Medicaid cases are now on a regular Medicaid eligibility renewal cycle.
A total of 951,186 Medicaid eligibility renewals have been completed by OHA since March 2016. For more than two years OHA, the Department of Human Services (DHS) and many private sector and non-profit partners engaged in an intensive effort to restore Medicaid renewals to standard operations.
Incoming OHA Acting Director Pat Allen has been charged with making organizational changes to improve the Medicaid renewal process to ensure accuracy, the wise use of taxpayer dollars, and make sure that everyone who is eligible for Medicaid has access.
