The Oregon Basic Health Services Act was passed by the Oregon Legislature in 1989. This act mandates the provision of and payment for health services to Medicaid recipients based on a prioritized list of diseases and treatments. As a result of this legislation, Oregonians with incomes of 100% or less of the federal poverty level are eligible for Medicaid benefits. At present, families with incomes not exceeding 67% of the federal poverty level qualify for Medicaid in Oregon. The definition of prioritized care, how the prioritization was accomplished, and the potential effect of the implementation of this plan for dermatology and patients with dermatologic disease is discussed.
俄勒冈州基本医疗服务法案于1989年由俄勒冈州立法机构通过。该法案规定根据疾病和治疗的优先列表，为医疗补助计划的受助人提供医疗服务并支付费用。由于这项立法，收入为联邦贫困线100%及以下的俄勒冈人有资格获得医疗补助福利。目前，在俄勒冈州，收入不超过联邦贫困线67%的家庭有资格获得医疗补助。本文讨论了优先护理的定义、优先排序是如何完成的，以及该计划的实施对皮肤科和皮肤病患者的潜在影响。
