SoonerCare Choice Program Independent Evaluation

INTERIM REPORT FOR JANUARY 2009 – JUNE 2012

SoonerCare is Oklahoma’s program for Medicaid beneficiaries; SoonerCare Choice is the managed care portion of SoonerCare. The program is administered by the Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA) and operates under the aegis of a federal “Section 1115 waiver” that permits enrollment of certain groups into managed (coordinated) systems of care. Nearly 70 percent of all SoonerCare beneficiaries are enrolled in SoonerCare Choice, with children comprising the great majority of SoonerCare Choice members. 
 
Although the SoonerCare Choice program has undergone significant evolution since its early years, the program’s overarching goals have remained constant: To provide accessible, high quality and cost effective care to the Oklahoma Medicaid population. Recently-launched initiatives have sought to advance these goals.
