Oregon awarded federal funds
to support reinsurance program
SALEM—Oregon is one of
the first three states to receive
funding from the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid
Services to support a state
reinsurance program. The
state’s award will be approxi-
mately $54 million.
The Oregon Reinsurance
Program, created during last
year’s legislative session,
spreads the risk of high-cost
claims among all insurance
companies to steady the indi-
vidual health market.
The Oregon Department of
Consumer and Business
Services (ODCBS) will man-
age the program.
“This federal funding recog-
nizes our work to provide
comprehensive health insur-
ance options for Oregonians,”
said Cameron Smith, director
of
OSCBS. “The Oregon
Reinsurance Program will help
provide market stability for
over 200,000 individuals, and
encourage insurance compa-
nies to offer plans in every
corner of the state.”
The reinsurance program
will be funded by the federal
award, funds from the Oregon
Te m p o r a r y R e i n s u r a n c e
Program that ended in 2016,
the Oregon Health Insurance
Marketplace assessment, and
the assessment that was
approved by the Measure 101
vote. Now that funding is
secured, the department can
set operating parameters and
guidelines for the reinsurance
program. Estimated funding
will be more than $90 million
for 2018.
The
Department
of
Consumer and Business
Services is Oregon’s largest
business regulatory and con-
sumer protection agency.

the implementation of land use
code takes place, what must be
done to change codes, and the

bers to replace vacancies creat-
ed as terms ended. This is the

cal future of the city by setting
spending guidelines.
For anyone with prior budg-
eting experience who wants to

ideal place to serve Dunes City.

ested in any of these volunteer
