(1) The provisions of ORS 414.115, 414.125 or 414.135 shall be implemented whenever it appears to the Oregon Health Authority that such implementation will provide comparable benefits at equal or less cost than provision thereof by direct payments by the authority to the providers of medical assistance, but in no case greater than the legislatively approved budgeted cost per eligible recipient at the time of contracting. (2) When determining comparable benefits at equal or less cost as provided in subsection (1) of this section, the authority must take into consideration the recipients need for reasonable access to preventive and remedial care, and the contractors ability to assure continuous quality delivery of both routine and emergency services.
