How is this funded?

Brokerage services are funded by a mix of state and federal money. Depending on the service, Oregon receives a different federal match.

Brokerage services fall under the Title XIX Waiver (matched at the Federal Medicaid Assistance Percentage, or FMAP, rate, currently 64%), and K Plan (receives a 6% increase on the FMAP, currently 70%).

The K Plan

• Officially known as the Community First Choice Option, often referred to as the K Plan
• Part of the Affordable Care Act (sometimes referred to as “Obamacare”)
• Newly-created option for how states receive federal match dollars
• Incentivizes home and community based supports over institutions
• K Plan increases Oregon’s federal match by 6%
• Oregon is the second state in the country to implement the K Plan
• Today, the vast majority of services in brokerages are funded through the K Plan
