Did you know quitting smoking is one of the most impactful actions for heart health? Within just 1 to 2 years of saying goodbye to tobacco, your risk of a heart attack drops significantly.
As a SoonerCare member, you can access tobacco cessation benefits to support you on this journey. By taking advantage of your benefits, you’re taking the first step toward a healthier heart and paving the way for a brighter, smoke-free future.
Embrace American Heart Month with open arms and a clear goal: to reduce the toll of tobacco on our hearts. Learn more about your benefits and take that pivotal step towards a healthier heart.
Winter weather can often lead people to overeat, resulting in unwanted pounds. Finding a balance is key, especially if you have diabetes. SoonerCare offers a benefit for education on this challenge or others you may have. Ask your doctor if you qualify for the diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) benefit and request a referral today.

OHCA is sending surveys to some SoonerCare members. We are working to make your member experience the best it can be. If you get a survey, use the provided link or phone number to take the survey. The survey is available in English and Spanish and takes just a few minutes to complete.
Are you currently pregnant and on SoonerCare? You could earn up to $580 by participating in a research study about smoking habits. To be eligible, you must be a SoonerCare member at least 18 years of age and be no more than 25 weeks pregnant. Participants must be willing to stop smoking cannabis and other combustible tobacco products during the study. Participants must be able to speak and understand English.
Once enrolled, SoonerCare members will complete six (6) paid surveys over 6 to 10 months. They will get coaching calls and may receive nicotine replacement therapy. They may also get incentives for completing parts of treatment and for quitting smoking. Contact the Helpline at 1-800-QUIT-NOW. Enroll in the multiple call program to see if you qualify for the study.
OHCA has partnered with Unite Oklahoma, a supportive network of community-based groups and health care providers. Unite Oklahoma offers extra resources to SoonerCare members transitioning off of or recently disenrolled from SoonerCare coverage.
