Or. Admin. R. 410-144-0000
These rules outline the requirements for participation in three different Workforce Development programs for supplemental payment through Medicaid which were enacted by the Oregon legislature under Senate Bill 800 (Enrolled 2021 Regular Session), House Bill 3396 (Enrolled 2023 Regular Session), House Bill 4002 (Enrolled 2024 Regular Session) and House Bill 2024 (Enrolled 2025 Regular Session). The Essential Workforce Healthcare Program (EWHP), the Essential Workforce Development Program (EWDP) also known as CareWorks Supplemental Payment program, and the United We Heal Supplemental Payment Program (UWHP) were established with the goal of developing certain segments of the healthcare workforce in this State. Eligible employers that participate in an EWHP, EWDP, or UWHP may be eligible to receive supplemental Medicaid payments by supporting the recruitment, retention and development of health care professionals through programs approved by the legislature such as providing health care benefits; on-the-job training; apprenticeship and mentorship opportunities; increased wages and better health care benefits, and improved workplace safety standards to the employees of their facilities in accordance with the rules in this Division 144.
