Recommendation was completed in June 2010
Oregon Health Policy Board approved the recommendation in August 2010
OHLC agreed to lead the development of the standards that were to be developed as part of the recommendation.

10. Electronic Transactions Savings Opportunity 10 June 28, 2010
11. Recommendations Utilize Minnesota standard companion guides to serve as basis for developing an Oregon Standard (for 3 transactions)
Eligibility transactions (270/271)
Claims (837)
Remittance Advice (834)
Require all plans, providers, and clearinghouses to do the three transactions electronically
Phase in the development and adoption of the standards over time 11
12. Timeline of Recommendation 12 June 28, 2010
13. Credentialing Update June 28, 2010 13
14. Credentialing Status OHLC endorsed recommendation:
Pursue implementation of a single credentialing repository utilizing Medversant
Implementation should not begin until Washington has successfully implemented and been operational for a reasonable amount of time
Health Plan, Hospitals and Providers would bear the cost of implementing interfaces from their own systems to Medversant to upload or download the data
Overview
Primary benefit is workload reductions for provider offices
Value is only achieved if all health plans participate and most providers
Medversant was best option given Washington implementation and pricing for Tier 1 (single repository only)
Status
Based on current Washington status, Oregon likely to start implementation in late 2011 or 2012 14
