OR HB 4115: new version, Enrolled
Summary
This entry reflects the enrolled version of Oregon HB 4115, signed by the Governor on March 31, 2026, and effective June 5, 2026 as Chapter 59, 2026 Oregon Laws. The enrolled law requires Oregon CCOs to reimburse contracted behavioral health providers retroactively to the Medicaid enrollment application submission date, prohibits CCOs from requiring new credentialing applications when a behavioral health provider changes employers, establishes a three-year criminal background check cycle with cross-setting portability for caregivers, and requires the Oregon Health Authority to publish background check renewal schedules for credentialed behavioral health providers.
What this may mean
Oregon CCOs face a direct payment obligation to behavioral health providers covering the gap between application submission and enrollment approval, altering the financial exposure of CCO managed care contracts. The prohibition on re-credentialing upon employer change removes an administrative requirement that previously delayed provider network participation and affected timely access to care.
