“Part i, line 1 tax-exempt purpose and mission of careoregon careoregon is a non-profit health services organization providing health plan services, education and community building support to partner health plans and their members. We are committed to cultivating individual well-being and community health regardless of income or social circumstances, with a focus not just on health care, but on total health through shared learning and innovation. Teaming with health plan members, their families and communities, careoregon helps individuals live better lives, prevent illnesses and respond quickly and effectively to health issues. Careoregon provides care support and disease management services to high-risk members, coordinates care and provides utilization management services, offers continuity of coverage for those eligible for medicaid, medicare or both. We support and actively work with providers and medicaid coordinated care organizations to implement quality improvement efforts and primary care redesign. We contract with public and private providers and work with the legislature and community-based organizations to improve the health of oregonians. Part i, line 8-22 summary - revenue and expenses careoregon experienced an approximate $25 million decrease in total revenue and an approximate $28 million decrease in expenses in 2013 compared to 2012. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to a $30 million decrease in premium revenue as 14,000 of careoregon's members in the yamhill county were transferred to a new independent cooridnated care organization (cco) in november 2012. The decrease in expenses was mainly related to a decrease in chartiable contributions in 2013 compared to 2012 when careoregon contributed about $22 million to assist the start-up of five ccos. The loss of our yamhill members also resulted in a decrease in medical claim expenses. Part iii, line 2 new program services in 2013, careoregon continued to support three subsidiary ccos and two other independent ccos. We also took on the administration of mental health benefits, which provides mental health services for 5,300 members throughout oregon.
