Universal Citation: OR Rev Stat § 445.070 (2019)
If it is made to appear to the Oregon Health Authority that the limitations of ORS 445.060 are not sufficient to provide necessary and adequate care of an indigent patient and that the condition of the indigent patient warrants such action, the authority, in its sole discretion, the exercise of which shall be conclusive and not in any wise subject to review, may authorize the supplying of additional care to the indigent patient of the same type as the types of initial care authorized by this chapter and may pay for the same from the Motor Vehicle Accident Fund. No claim for additional care shall be enforceable under this chapter unless the authority first approves and authorizes in writing the supplying of such additional care. No single authorization shall be for more than:
(1) For additional care supplied by a hospital or hospitals, $500.
(2) For additional care supplied by a doctor or doctors, $300.
(3) For additional care supplied by a nurse or nurses, $200.
(4) For additional care supplied by a pharmacy or pharmacies, $100.
(5) For additional care supplied by an ambulance operator or ambulance operators, $50.
