Purpose
OHCA primarily oversees two health programs for the State of Oklahoma. The largest is SoonerCare, Oklahoma's Medicaid program.
In early 2024, it launched a new delivery model for many Medicaid members. SoonerSelect, the state’s managed care program, empowers eligible members to select health and dental plans that fit their needs.
In July 2024, the Employees Group Insurance Division (EGID) joined OHCA.
The connection is designed to streamline operations, enhance collaboration and align a shared vision of promoting access to health care needs for Oklahomans.
OHCA also operates Insure Oklahoma and the Office of the State Coordinator for Health Information Exchange (HIE). Insure Oklahoma assists small business employees in obtaining health care coverage for themselves and their families. The Office of the State Coordinator for HIE oversees the state-designated entity for HIE, which connects providers with critical real-time patient information to improve decision-making.
