CareOregon is committed to creating a network of providers to ensure our members have access to high-quality care in the most appropriate clinical settings. As of October 2025, CareOregon is largely not extending new contracts for routine outpatient Behavioral Health. We are currently pursuing contracts with providers based on membership volume, network need, and providers who share similar background as our members.
We are assessing on an individual basis contracting applications for providers certified in culturally and linguistically specific services (CLSS) by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA).
