Oregon Health Authority
Section 1115 waivers give states flexibility to test new approaches to managing and delivering care to Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program populations. In 2012, Oregon launched a demonstration waiver program that redesigns the state’s Medicaid delivery and payment system. The goals were to improve quality of care while reining in costs through (1) increased care coordination; (2) alternative payment methodologies; (3) integrated physical, behavioral, and oral health; (4) administrative simplifications; (5) greater use of flexible and nontraditional Medicaid services; and (6) effective implementation of innovations and best practices.
