OR HB 4115: new version, A-Engrossed

Score 85PRIMARYregulatoryState legislature

Summary

Oregon HB 4115, signed into law March 31, 2026, and effective June 5, 2026, makes several changes to behavioral health provider credentialing and enrollment rules in Oregon. The law limits criminal background check validity for certain caregivers to three years, makes qualifying checks portable across care settings, and prohibits coordinated care organizations from requiring a new credentialing application when a behavioral health provider changes employers. It also requires coordinated care organizations to reimburse contracted behavioral health providers retroactively to the date of a successful Medicaid enrollment application.

What this may mean

Oregon coordinated care organizations must adjust their credentialing and enrollment reimbursement processes to comply by June 5, 2026. Retroactive reimbursement to the Medicaid enrollment application date creates a new financial obligation for coordinated care organizations contracting with behavioral health providers. Portability of background checks and prohibition on re-credentialing upon employer change reduce administrative burdens on behavioral health providers moving between settings.
