OAR 409-035-0050: Monitoring and Follow-up Requirements

To maintain participation in the Physician Visa Waiver Program the health care facility must: (1) Notify the Authority in writing as soon as the physician starts work. (2) Promptly submit annual reports signed by the physician and the Chief Executive Officer of the health care facility or their designee. These reports shall include: (a) Verification that the physician is employed full-time; (b) A current breakdown of patient visits from Oregon Health Plan members, Medicare, and low-income uninsured patients served by the physician; and (c) The current number of Oregon Health Plan member visits as a percentage of the total patient visits at the facility. (3) The first report is due one year after employment begins, and annually thereafter, until the term of the contract is complete. Failure to submit timely, accurate reports may result in a report of non-compliance to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services; and may adversely affect the facility’s eligibility for future participation in the program. (4) Notify the Authority immediately of any change or prospective change in the physician’s employment status. (5) Allow Authority auditors access to health care facility and physician records.
