What is SoonerSelect?

What is SoonerSelect?

Starting April 2024, most SoonerCare members will get coverage for health care services in a new way  — through health and dental plans. These plans provide health care services through a network of doctors, dentists, pharmacies and other providers.
 

SoonerSelect is working with health and dental plans to:
 

  • Improve health outcomes 

  • Move toward a system where we pay providers based on quality of care rather than just service

  • Improve your satisfaction

  • Focus on preventive and primary care

The Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA) is working with health and dental plans to coordinate care for most members, including:
 

  • Pregnant women 

  • Children 

  • Parents and caretaker relatives 

  • Expansion adults 

  • Newborns (when the mother is eligible for Medicaid on the date of birth) 
     

If you’re in one of these groups, you’ll join a SoonerSelect health plan. OHCA will ask you to choose one. If you don’t choose, they’ll choose one for you. 

 

Juvenile justice-involved children and those in foster care will enroll in the SoonerSelect Children’s Specialty Program.  

 

American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) members can opt in if they’d like to join a SoonerSelect plan. If an AI/AN member decides not to opt in, they will continue to receive the same SoonerCare coverage they already have.
