OHA Director Patrick Allen last week announced that Oregon has ended its participation in the federal Title X grant program.
After the Oregon Health Authority declined to use federal dollars in the wake of new Trump administration rules that prevent health practitioners from discussing abortion with their patients, the federal Department of Health and Human Services directed Oregon to give up its Title X grant or face grant termination.
OHA Director Patrick Allen announced the decision, saying, "We cannot violate our own state laws that guarantee Oregon women full access to reproductive health services and prohibit any restriction on benefits, services or information regarding a woman’s right to choose to terminate a pregnancy."
A recording of the recent webinar where OHA shared the latest information about CCO 2.0 and changes coming for Oregon Health Plan members in 2020 is now available online.
Learn more about how OHA plans to communicate with OHP members about changes to their CCO choices, the next steps in the awards process (see timeline above), and how to support members during this transition.
The following materials are available for you to download and are posted on OHA’s CCO 2.0 website:
