Oregon Administrative Rules
Chapter 309 - OREGON HEALTH AUTHORITY, HEALTH SYSTEMS DIVISION: BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES
Division 65 - Culturally and Linguistically Specific Behavioral Health Services (CLSS)
Section 309-065-0000 - Purpose and Scope

(1) These rules establish processes and procedures for outpatient behavioral health providers, delivering services that are culturally and linguistically specific, to receive enhanced payment for patients on the Oregon Health Plan. Organizations, programs and individuals that are reimbursed outside OHP's fee schedule for behavioral health services such as but not limited to Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC), Rural Health Clinics (RHC), and Indian Health Care Providers (IHCPs) are not eligible for enhanced fee schedule reimbursement because these services are reimbursed at a clinic-specific encounter rate."

(2) Whether or not an organization, program or individual qualifies for enhanced payments through this program, all providers of behavioral health services are encouraged to provide culturally and linguistically specific services if they have that expertise.
