Several Oklahomans transitioning from SoonerCare to the new SoonerSelect health plan

Starting April 1, many Oklahomans who use SoonerCare will be transitioning to a new health plan called SoonerSelect, as announced by the Oklahoma Healthcare Authority. Over half of the individuals currently using SoonerCare will now be covered under the SoonerSelect health plan. This plan will cater to non-disabled children, children in foster care, low-income parents, pregnant women, and non-disabled adults aged 19 to 64.

It is important for members who are switching to SoonerSelect to confirm the changes with their healthcare providers to ensure that they are still within the network. All members should have received new identification cards by now, but if not, they are advised to contact MySoonerCare.org for assistance.

According to the Oklahoma Healthcare Authority, SoonerSelect will prioritize health and wellness initiatives, both within and outside of traditional medical settings. The program will closely monitor quality metrics to assess how well the plans are helping members achieve their health goals, improve their health outcomes, and enhance their overall quality of life.

For those who are eligible and have not yet chosen SoonerSelect as their health plan, they have until June 30 to make the necessary changes to their coverage. It is recommended to review the new plan options and select the one that best suits individual healthcare needs.
