SB 951
Private Equity and Management Services Organization Restrictions in Healthcare
Official Summary
Nation''s toughest PE/MSO restrictions for healthcare. Requires OHA approval for management services agreements. New MSOs must comply Jan 2026; existing MSOs by Jan 2029. Covers dental, medical, and behavioral health.
Praxis Analysis
The most consequential state-level PE restriction in the country. Every DSO and MSO operating in Oregon must understand the Jan 2026 (new) and Jan 2029 (existing) compliance deadlines. OHA review process for management services agreements adds regulatory friction that will slow but not stop consolidation.
