OAR 836-052-0596
Standards for Covered Services


This rule establishes standards for covered services for the purpose of payment of benefits pursuant to ORS 743.656 (Eligibility for benefits). An insurer shall not define the covered services more restrictively than the following minimum standards, or similar standards found by the Director to be substantially as favorable to the consumer:

(1)

Nursing home services, when provided to the insured in this state, include services provided in or by a nursing home licensed under ORS 678.710 (Definitions for ORS 678.710 to 678.820) to 678.840. When provided to the insured outside this state, nursing home services include services provided in or by a nursing home in the other state. The nursing home must be licensed by the other state if so required by a similar licensing or other regulatory program;

(2)

Assisted living services, when provided to the insured in this state, include those services provided in a facility or by a person licensed or otherwise regulated by this state to provide assisted living services as that term is defined in OAR 411-056-0005. When the services are provided to the insured outside this state, the provider or providing facility must be licensed by the other state if so required by a similar licensing or other regulatory program;

(3)

Home care services, regardless of the state in which they are provided, include service provided in the insured’s own home rather than a facility such as an assisted living facility or adult foster care facility;

(4)

Adult foster care services, when provided to the insured in this state, include those services that are provided in an adult foster home pursuant to a license issued under ORS 443.705 (Definitions for ORS 443.705 to 443.825) to 443.825 (Disposition of penalties recovered). When the services are provided to the insured outside this state, the provider or providing facility must be licensed by the other state if so required by a similar licensing or other regulatory program; and

(5)

Services through a residential care facility, when provided to the insured in this state, include those services provided in a facility or by a person licensed or otherwise regulated by this state to provide services through a residential care facility as that term is defined in ORS 443.400 (Definitions for ORS 443.400 to 443.455). When the services are provided to the insured outside this state, the provider or providing facility must be licensed by the other state if so required by a similar licensing or other regulatory program.
