Dear Group, question about patient access

[webdog]

Can a out-of-state patient, who is not enrolled yet, get properly setup as a patient? I am in Arkansas. Thanks.

pretty sure you have to be a resident

The purpose for my question, was something I read from a 2010 GOV opinion.

The online is here: http://www.doj.state.or.us/agoffice/.../op_2010_2.pdf

Basically, it contains this one information bit salient to my question and I am interested in:

... Concluding that: "(1) The OMMA contains no Oregon residency requirement for obtaining an Oregon registry identification card"

Is this how it still stands in 2011?

IF so, does any Oregon provider work with for out-of-state patients, and can hand-hold me through registration that is working?

I am not looking for some shady first time deal for who is not in know, but a reputable doctor that understands policy, and works within the laws for access pointed out here.
