June 2021 - Agent News
Some Insure Oklahoma members will be moving to SoonerCare starting July 1. Notices have begun going out and will inform the member if they are switching to SoonerCare and explain why.
For more information, attend one of our virtual events. There is still space to register for the June 17 Brown Bag. If you did not receive an invitation, please contact us. The Brown Bags and the Employer Town Halls will cover the same information. If you are registered for a Brown Bag, you do not need to register for a Town Hall.
If your employers and their employees are asking about SoonerCare benefits, please refer them to the Adults 21 and over column under SoonerCare Traditional on the comparison chart located here.
Due to high call volumes as we near adult expansion implementation, we highly encourage you, your employers and their employees to apply online if possible.
Final Reminder: Insure Oklahoma is instituting a timely filing rule for submission of invoices for subsidy payment. Beginning July 1, subsidy will not be paid on invoices six months or older. For example, the July 2021 invoice will need to be received by January 1, 2022. Please review your files and if you have any invoices that have not been submitted, submit them prior to June 30, 2021.
The PHE period is being extended in 90-day increments by the federal government. The current date for extended coverage to end is set for July 31. However, we fully anticipate multiple 90-day extensions granted by the President to extend until the end of 2021. This is subject to change based on CMS guidance. |
