APA WF# 21-19 Appeals to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)/Administrative Law Judge (ALJ)
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 rule changes will comply with Senate Bill 207 by revising policies regarding appeals to the Agency's chief executive officer (CEO) pursuant to 63 O.S. Section 5052(C). The changes will note that the CEO may only designate an administrative law judge (ALJ) at another state agency, that is established in the State Medicaid Plan, and approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), to hear and decide a CEO appeal. Further revisions will clarify that in-person hearing requests will need to be submitted on the updated LD-4 form.
