OR HB3554

Oregon Health Authority must establish a primary care provider loan repayment program for physicians, physician associates, and nurse practitioners working in suburban and urban areas with workforce shortages

Primary care practices with 20 or fewer providers can receive financial incentives and low-interest loans for infrastructure and electronic health records upgrades if they serve Medicaid/Medicare patients proportional to their area's population

Oregon Health Authority and Department of Consumer and Business Services must develop a centralized online portal for health outcome and quality measure reporting, with standardized data submission and real-time performance tracking

A nine-member task force appointed by the Governor will guide portal development, with report due by December 31, 2026; coordinated care organizations and health insurers cannot require providers to report quality data through any other means

Oregon Health Authority must study barriers to establishing a centralized health care practitioner credentialing system and report findings by September 15, 2026
