After a tangled legal battle with its contracted online health exchange developer, Oregon has dropped Oracle America and will install the Medicaid software built by Kentucky, according to an Oregon Live report.
Oregon considered eight states' online exchanges before settling on Kentucky's, according to the report.
Oregon will not have to pay to acquire Kentucky's programming code, but the state has allocated approximately $30 million for the project to adapt the system to fit Oregon's needs. The federal government will pay 90 percent of the cost, according to the report.
Oregon still faces legal battles with Oracle. The state filed a lawsuit against the developer alleging Oracle officials breached contracts, made false statements and botched the development of the exchange. Oracle also filed a lawsuit against Oregon, claiming the state owes Oracle $23 million in disputed bills.
