This rulemaking prescribes, for reporting year 2011, the required forms for the annual and supplemental financial statements required of insurers, multiple employer welfare arrangements and health care service contractors under ORS 731.574, as well as the necessary instructions for completing the forms.

The proposed amendments to the rule also add information about how to inspect the instructions and forms necessary to complete the annual financial statements.

This rulemaking suspends rules adopted by the Department of Consumer and Business Services related to physician credential and recredentialing by health care service contractors.   During the 2009 Legislative Session, the statutory authority for adopting these rules was transferred from DCBS to the Oregon Health Authority.  The Oregon Health Authority is proposing to adopt temporary rules that replace this DCBS rule and that make further changes to these rules, rather than relying on the rules in force previously adopted by DCBS.  To avoid confusion, the DCBS rule will be suspended until permanent rules are adopted by the Oregon Health Authority, at which time the DCBS rule will be repealed.
