Oregon’s hospital payment cap saved $107.5M over 27 months with no harm to care, staffing, or access, a Brown study found.
Oregon’s hospital payment cap, limiting state health plan payments to double Medicare rates since 2019, saved $107.5 million over 27 months with no negative impact on hospital operations, staffing, or patient care, a Brown University study found.
The policy reduced out-of-pocket costs by 9.5% and maintained in-network access, showing that capping excessive hospital prices—rather than overall costs—can lower premiums and consumer expenses without sacrificing quality or access.
The findings support similar reforms being considered in other states.
