Eastern Oregon CCO Head to Discuss Potential Medicaid Budget Cuts

The head of the Eastern Oregon Coordinated Care Organization will address what potential Medicaid cuts could mean for the region. Oregon operates its Medicaid managed care program through coordinated care organizations (CCOs), which serve geographically defined service areas and are responsible for physical, behavioral, and dental health services. The discussion comes as states face fiscal pressures that could affect Medicaid program funding. For CCOs, state budget cuts typically affect capitation rates, service coverage, or administrative funding, directly impacting their ability to maintain provider networks and deliver services in rural areas.
