Pursuant to House Bill 1566 passed by the Oklahoma Legislature and signed by Gov. Mary Fallin in April 2015, the OHCA will issue a Request For Proposal (RFP) for a care coordination model for the Aged, Blind and Disabled (ABD) populations. To comply with the new state regulation, the OHCA has and continues to solicit information and input from a wide variety of stakeholders including but not limited to members, advocates, providers, health care systems, and the general public. OHCA went through a Request For Information (RFI) process in June of 2015, for the development and requirements of the RFP.
The OHCA continues to gather contact information for stakeholders interested in being a part of the discussions. All interested parties are encouraged to provide their contact information including especially an email address, to receive periodic updates as well as notifications of future stakeholder meetings.
In order to comply with Oklahoma State Procurement law, OHCA has entered into a silent period lasting until the end of the procurement period. Questions will only be accepted using the official question process that can be found in section 3.3 of the RFP under the "Submission of Questions" heading.
