Oregon Association of Hospitals and Health Systems

The Oregon Association of Hospitals and Health Systems asked The Lewin Group to focus on four areas related to the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) Medicaid program and provider reimbursement. The areas were: An analysis of Medicaid provider payments compared to actual provider costs Comparisons to other states' Medicaid programs and to Medicare The impact of proposed budget reductions The effect of Medicaid payment rates on access to care. This report describes Oregon's Medicaid reimbursement system and analyzes Oregon and national health expenditure data related to reimbursement issues. It presents discussions of the various findings and conclusions.

"Throughout the engagement, Lewin consultants listened to us and delivered superb analyses and thoughtful guidance–not canned solutions."  NONPROFIT HEALTH SYSTEM
