Know Your Native Options! Oklahoma’s State SoonerCare Medicaid program is moving to a new health plan program with managed care network plans called SoonerSelect starting February 2024. Know your options. Opt Out: Native Americans will automatically be opted out and remain in the traditional SoonerCare medical and dental programs. Native American SoonerCare members have the choice to opt in to a SoonerSelect network plan, however it would then be necessary to verify the new medical and dental plans work for you and your tribal health program. If you stay opted out, your SoonerCare benefits will remain unchanged and no action is required. Opt In: SoonerSelect network plans may offer some extra benefits not offered with traditional SoonerCare to help improve your health, however Native Americans will need to opt in, shop the medical and dental plans, and enroll. Note: Non-Native SoonerCare family members must select a medical and dental plan before open enrollment closes or the member will be auto-enrolled. Dental Plan Open Enrollment: December 1, 2023 - January 10, 2024 Medical Plan Open Enrollment: February 1, 2024 - March 10, 2024 Two Ways to Enroll: 1) Contact an OHCA Choice Counselor via the SoonerCare Helpline At 800.987.7767 2) Visit mysoonercare.org to view, compare, and pick a plan that’s right for you. Please be advised, Patient Benefit Advocates cannot enroll members in SoonerSelect plans but can help navigate the process.
