Medicaid

State officials say about 80% of the 1.5 million Oregon Health Plan members will keep coverage.

A commission created by the Oregon Legislature has a September deadline to propose a plan for people at risk of losing Medicaid coverage.

In a new federal waiver request, Oregon joins a handful of states asking to spend Medicaid dollars on some people in jail and prison, in spite of a longstanding ban. And in a national first, Oregon has proposed keeping kids continuously enrolled through their sixth birthday.

Oregon’s efforts to overhaul health care have been largely successful, according to a new study.

If Measure 101 fails, it will be up to legislators in February to decide how to come up with up to $320 million to protect health care for more than a million Oregonians.

Oregonians will vote on health care taxes that raise millions for the state’s neediest citizens. Rep. Julie Parrish, a state lawmaker who was once a Medicaid recipient herself, is the reason why.

Measure 101 asks one seemingly simple question: Do you agree with the way the Oregon Legislature wants to fund Medicaid? The answer is anything but simple.

Gov. Kate Brown has given the Oregon Health Authority until the end of August to figure out the Medicaid eligibility of 115,000 Oregonians.

The Oregon secretary of state sent an audit alert to all 90 lawmakers Wednesday warning that Oregon Health Authority may be sending as much as $37 million a month to ineligible Medicaid recipients.
