OAR 419-300-0070: Contracting with a Program

A referral agent must include in any contract with a program any provisions prohibiting the referral agent from collecting compensation for a referral to a “program” when the program is a subsequent program as described in this subsection. (1) A program is a subsequent program if: (a) The subject of placement enters a program to which the subject of placement is referred by a first referral agent, but subsequently leaves that program; and (b) A new referral agent refers the subject of placement to the subsequent program. (2) When a program referral is made to a subsequent program for a subject of placement by a new referral agent as described in paragraph (a) of this subsection, the new referral agent must present evidence to the subsequent program that the first referral agent is not entitled to compensation for the referral.
