Lane County OHP: PacificSource to Trillium Follow-Up
By George Ruan • July 5, 2026
As of October 9, 2026, the Lane County OHP transition is a follow-up task. PacificSource’s exit notice says coverage continued through January 2026 with transitions complete by February 1. Trillium’s provider update confirms the February 1, 2026 change. Review current coverage and older claims separately.

Confirm the member’s actual current coverage
OHA’s transition guidance says American Indian and Alaska Native members automatically moved to Open Card unless they chose Trillium. Do not convert every former PacificSource record to Trillium based only on a Lane County address.
Run MMIS eligibility for the service date and record the benefits responsible for the planned care. When the current result differs from intake paperwork, keep the historical coverage rather than replacing every date with today’s plan. The county CCO directory helps with service-area research but cannot substitute for the individual coverage check.
Older PacificSource visits and newer Trillium visits
Use the January-to-February change as a review flag, then confirm eligibility for each claim’s date and service. OHA’s billing instructions route CCO-covered services to the CCO and fee-for-service services to OHA. Do not send an older denied claim to today’s plan solely because that plan is now on the member’s record.
For a batch of unresolved visits, split the work by coverage period and claim status. For each item, retain the original payer, service date, submission reference, response and reason for the proposed correction. This makes it possible to identify a routing problem without restarting every claim as a new submission.
Continuity periods were limited transition protection
OHA describes a 60-day transition-of-care period for most members’ physical, dental and behavioral health care and 90 days for members with Medicare. Certain high-risk treatment can continue through the course of care. After the period, continued out-of-network covered services require Trillium approval. Read OHA’s continuity and post-transition guidance.
By October, do not use the standard transition period from February as blanket approval for a current visit. Check the member’s circumstances, current network participation and service authorization. Keep any continuity or extended-treatment confirmation with the affected visits. Equally, do not assume every preexisting approval became void on the transition date; resolve what applied to the actual course of care.
Current claim setup and authorization follow-up
Trillium’s 2026 Provider Manual shows medical/BH EDI payer ID 68069 for Lane and Tri-County in its member-identification section. Our Oregon payer-ID guide compares that destination with OHA, CareOregon and PacificSource Medicaid. Match the product and destination in your clearinghouse rather than copying a separate vision identifier.
For current care, resolve prior authorization routing and network questions independently of claim setup. A payer ID tells the system where to send a transaction; your office still needs the coverage and approval evidence for the visit.
Update the Lane County office checklist
Flag old intake templates that present PacificSource as today’s Lane County CCO.
Preserve historical payer records and date-specific coverage evidence.
Assign an owner to unresolved Trillium participation or authorization questions.
Keep provider revalidation separate from the CCO transition.
Resolve MMIS account access using login recovery and PIN help when staff cannot perform the needed inquiry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Did all Lane County members automatically move to Trillium?
OHA identifies an American Indian and Alaska Native exception: automatic Open Card unless the member chose Trillium. Verify each member’s actual coverage.
Does a February continuity period approve an October visit?
Do not treat the standard transition period as continuing blanket approval. Verify the current service, network and authorization circumstances, including any applicable extended-treatment confirmation.
Should I replace PacificSource on every old claim?
Preserve the coverage evidence for the original service date and establish the correct payer before changing a historical claim.
