November 5, 2012 -- The federal Affordable Care Act (ACA) established new requirements beginning January 2014 for benefits covering any Medicaid expansion populations. From August through October 2012, the Oregon Medicaid Advisory Committee worked to select a recommended benefit package. If Oregon chooses to expand coverage to a new Medicaid eligibility group in 2014, this new benchmark would be the covered benefit plan.
The Oregon Health Authority and the Oregon Medicaid Advisory Committee are seeking public comment on the Medicaid Benchmark Plan recommendations. Go to the committee’s webpage for more information on the recommendations.
Public comments will be accepted through 5 p.m. November 19, 2012. Please send comments to [email protected].
