Starting April 1, more than half of Oklahomans who use SoonerCare will be transitioning to a new health plan known as SoonerSelect. The Oklahoma Healthcare Authority has announced that the new plan will provide coverage for non-disabled children, including those in foster care, low-income parents, pregnant women, and non-disabled adults aged 19 to 64.
Individuals who are switching to the SoonerSelect plan are advised to confirm any changes with their healthcare provider to ensure they are still within the network. It is important to have the new SoonerSelect I.D. cards already, but if not, reaching out to MySoonerCare.org is recommended. SoonerSelect is designed to focus on health and wellness, both in and out of the doctor’s office.
Emily Long, a representative from the Oklahoma Healthcare Authority, emphasized that SoonerSelect will be closely monitoring quality metrics to assess the effectiveness of the program in helping members achieve their health goals, improve health outcomes, and enhance their overall quality of life. If you are eligible for SoonerSelect but have not yet selected the plan, you have until June 30 to make changes to your coverage.
