Oregon Health Authority (state policy) — Oregon regulators proposed sharp increases to fees across the nation's first regulated psilocybin services program, including doubling annual manufacturer and service-center license fees from $10,000 to $20,000.
The fee-funded program has seen revenue lag rising costs, and industry leaders warned the hikes could push more operators out of business and raise already-high treatment costs, with roughly half of licensed service centers already expired or surrendered. The proposal highlights the financial fragility of the state-regulated (non-FDA) access model.
