Working checklist
Operational steps to review
Register with the Oregon Department of Human Services before providing covered referral services.
Submit the disclosure form, privacy policy, managing-principal details, insurance proof, background check, and registration fee.
Give consumers a written disclosure describing services, contact details, privacy practices, contracted-network limits, and registration.
Obtain written permission before sharing or selling personal information and stop contact after a written request.
Complete required background checks and maintain commercial liability insurance.
Renew the registration on its two-year cycle and keep registration status visible.
Questions for legal review
- Contractors who provide referrals may need separate registration.
- Do not provide covered services while an application is still pending.
- Confirm whether each setting is licensed and therefore within the program.
