​​​SUMMARY: OARs 836-080-0195 836-053-1630, 836-200-0401, 836-200-0406, 836-200-0411, 836-200-0416, 836-200-0418, 836-200-0421, 836-200-0436, 836-200-0440
The proposed rulemaking replaces references to registration throughout our current rules, encoded at OAR 836-200-0401 et seq with references to licensure. It adds new data elements to our reporting rule and new market conduct requirements. It adds language clarifying the bar on retaliation against pharmacies, noting that a pharmacy claims audit may be considered retaliation under certain circumstances. Finally, the rulemaking includes substantial revisions to the language related to pharmacy reimbursement to clarify expectations for PBMs when a pharmacy is reimbursed below acquisition cost under a maximum allowable cost schedule.
