Oregon DFR Bulletin 2023-2: Expectations for Health Insurers During Wildfires and Emergencies

The Oregon Division of Financial Regulation issued Bulletin 2023-2 to clarify expectations for health insurers regarding claims handling during wildfires and declared emergencies. The directive requires insurers to ensure immediate coverage for destroyed medical supplies, waive out-of-network cost-sharing for displaced enrollees, and extend administrative deadlines for affected providers. These measures aim to provide relief to Oregonians impacted by natural disasters and supersede previous emergency guidance issued in 2020.
