2026 Medicaid Behavioral Health Provider Directed Payment Program Update 

In preparation for annual changes to the Oregon Heatlh Authority's Behavioral Health Directed Payment Program (BHDP), please review the below information about what to expect in 2026. In addition, Trillium updates our Behavioral Health webpage with this information each January to ensure our network of contracted behavioral health providers has timely access to the latest details, guidelines, and resources.
 
What is the status of the 2026 BHDP rate increases?

  • Per the Oregon Heatlh Authority's (OHA's) 2026 BHDP guidance, the 2026 directed payment structure is not final until approved by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). As of late December, CMS has not provided that approval. Trillium will update our website upon hearing from OHA with next steps for 2026.

What steps do providers need to take?

  • For Trillium contracted providers, Trillium will continue reimbursing at our contracted rates and will adhere to all OHA reimbursement guidelines. While providers may no longer qualify for BHDP rates as of January 1, 2026, reimbursement will not automatically revert to 100% of DMAP unless contractually specified. We regularly review reimbursement methodologies in alignment with OHA expectations and will notify providers in advance of any changes.

Who do I contact at Trillium if I have questions?
