Permanent Administrative Order PH-7-2025
Summary
The Oregon Health Authority filed Permanent Administrative Order PH-7-2025, effective March 1, 2025, amending Oregon Administrative Rules for special inpatient care facility licensing, physical environment review, and related definitions. The primary substantive changes update the term 'physician assistant' to 'physician associate' under HB 4010 and replace 'on-site' with 'in-person' under SB 556, both reflecting 2024 Oregon legislative changes. The amendments do not alter Medicaid billing, reimbursement, or enforcement standards.
What this may mean
The rule changes are limited to terminology updates in Oregon's SICF licensing framework reflecting two 2024 Oregon legislative enactments. Limited direct operational impact for healthcare organizations.
