# Lane County Providers Seek Trillium Contracts

Lane County behavioral-health and community-based providers report difficulty contracting with Trillium Community Health Plan, now the county’s sole Oregon Health Plan managed-care organization, limiting their ability to serve Medicaid members. Aspire Wellness said its contracting process had taken nearly two years as of October 5, 2026; WellMama and Connected Lane County also reported being unable to reach agreements. Trillium says its network meets member needs and state access standards, while the Oregon Health Authority says it will address access shortfalls identified in future reviews. The reports identify no new contracting opportunity or timetable.

- Providers seeking to participate in the Lane County Medicaid network face uncertainty over contracting timelines and whether services can be sustained without an agreement.
- The reported cases involve outpatient behavioral health, maternal and community-based services, and youth support; disruptions could affect Medicaid members and, according to a county commissioner, providers’ other clients as well.
- Organizations evaluating service delivery in Lane County should account for Trillium’s role as the sole local Oregon Health Plan managed-care organization and distinguish reported provider concerns from Trillium’s position that its network meets state standards.
- No solicitation, contract value, or new procurement deadline is reported; the Oregon Health Authority’s response is tied to access shortfalls identified in future reviews.
