Oregon Approved K Plan

“The K Plan is a Medicaid state plan option authorized under the Affordable Care Act. It allows states to provide home and community-based services and supports while receiving a six percent increase in federal medical assistance funds for those services.

These services benefit Oregonians who need assistance with regular activities and want to stay in their home or in a community setting and remain as independent, healthy and safe as possible. At the same time, the services save both state and federal money because they provide more extensive home and community-based long-term services and supports in place of more expensive institutional care.”
