APA WF# 21-13 Grievance Procedures and Process Rules Revisions

These rule changes were previously approved by the OHCA Board of Directors and the Governor and are currently in effect as emergency rules. Due to Oklahoma Statutes, these rules must be taken through the permanent rulemaking process.

The proposed revisions will revise existing appeals rules to clarify appeals related to the aged, blind, and disabled populations. The proposed rules will also establish appeals rules related to Agency-level appeals for providers and beneficiaries whose initial grievance and/or appeal occurs with an agency contractor. Additional revisions will clarify contract award protest process based on whether the OMES Director considers the appeal or assigns the appeal to an administrative law judge.
