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%).
