It was established by the passage of Oregon House Bill 2009 by the [[75th Oregon Legislative Assembly]], and split off from [[Oregon Department of Human Services]]. OHA oversees most of Oregon's health-related programs including behavioral health (addictions and mental health), public health, [[Oregon State Hospital]] for individuals requiring secure residential psychiatric care, and the state's Medicaid program called the [[Oregon Health Plan]]. Its policy work is overseen by the nine member '''Oregon Health Policy Board'''.<ref name=aboutus>{{cite web|title=What is the Oregon Health Authority (OHA)?|url=http://www.oregon.gov/OHA/about_us.shtml|accessdate=April 21, 2010}}</ref>
OHA is responsible for the state's Medicaid program, which is operated under a Medicaid Demonstration waiver from the U.S. [[Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services]] (CMS), known as an 1115 Waiver. The demonstration includes [[Coordinated Care Organization|coordinated care organizations]] (a form of [[accountable care organization]] or ACO) as the Medicaid delivery system; flexibility in use of federal funds by the CCOs; and a federal investment of approximately $1.9 billion over five years, tied to an agreement by the state to reduce the trend in per-capita medical spending by two percentage points by the end of the waiver's second year.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.oregon.gov/oha/healthplan/pages/waiver.aspx|title = Oregon Health Plan Waiver|website = www.oregon.gov|access-date = 2016-04-08}}</ref>
