The Oregon Division of Financial Regulation issued Bulletin No. DFR 2018-08 to clarify supervisory expectations regarding coverage requirements amended by 2018 House Bill 4104. The bulletin mandates that health benefit plans cover bilateral cochlear implants, related programming, and hearing aids without a dollar limit once every 36 months, while prohibiting age-based limits for plans subject to Essential Health Benefits. Insurers are further required to provide specific notices of coverage limits upon diagnosis and educational materials to parents of enrollees under 19, subject to confidential communication requests.
