CareOregons Medicaid Plan Change Impacts Portlanders Access to Providence Specialists
CareOregon, the largest Medicaid plan in Portland, has shifted new referrals to Providence specialists to other healthcare providers, affecting over 200,000 members. This change, effective February 15th, includes neurologists, oncologists, and psychiatrists. While CareOregon claims its network can handle the shift, concerns arise over potential longer wait times and increased health costs. Providence Oregon CEO Jennifer Burrows describes it as a joint decision for more efficient care delivery, with no interruption to current treatments.
