(3) The Payment arrangement file shall be submitted using the approved layout, format, and coding described in Appendix 1, Payment Arrangement File.

(9) These submissions shall meet the requirement that all Coordinated Care Organizations report primary care services to the Oregon Health Authority each year through 2027 for the prior calendar year’s data. The findings generated from these submissions will be presented to the legislature no later than February 1 of each year through 2028. [ED.
