(1) A claim for reimbursement for a behavioral health service or a physical health service provided to a medical assistance recipient may not be denied by the Oregon Health Authority or a coordinated care organization on the basis that the behavioral health service and physical health service were provided on the same day or in the same facility, unless required by state or federal law.

The coordinated care organization shall provide notice of the assignment to the member and to the primary care provider. (4) A member may select a different primary care provider at any time. (5) Subsection (1) of this section does not apply to coordinated care organizations’ payments to providers using a value-based payment arrangement or other alternative payment methodology.
