The Oregon Division of Financial Regulation issued this bulletin to enforce House Bill 3276, which mandates that insurers cover necessary vaccinations during declared disease outbreaks without network restrictions or prior authorization. Following the meningococcal disease outbreak declaration at Oregon State University, the Commissioner directs all entities offering health benefit plans to reimburse for these preventative measures regardless of whether the claim is processed as a medical or pharmacy benefit. This guidance aims to prevent claim denials based on plan design coding and ensures immediate access to critical preventative services for enrollees.
