Caption: Update Annual Participant Fee to include Freestanding Birthing Centers
Statement of Need: OPSC’s statute allows us to assess fees on PSRP-eligible facility types (ORS 442.850). Freestanding birthing centers are the only eligible facilities that do not currently pay an annual PSRP fee (fees are mandatory regardless of participation). OPSC’s Board of Directors determines the amount of the fee for each eligible facility type.
If you’d like to provide oral comments at the rulemaking hearing, please join us on October 19, 2026, 10:00am-10:30am. Meeting access information is below:
