About

The main goal of the payment and delivery system reform is to reduce disparities in oral health and dental care access of low-income mothers and children living in rural Oregon counties. The target population is children, pregnant women and new mothers enrolled in Oregon Health Plan (OHP) in rural Oregon.

Full description

To implement a payment plan model based on global budgeting and Alternative Quality Contract (pay-for-performance) for dental providers within Advantage Dental Services, LLC with the goal of incentivizing implementation of delivery system changes aimed at reducing disparities in access and oral health for low-income mothers and children living in rural Oregon counties.
