APA WF # 22-03 Clinical Trials and Dental Out-of-State Services

The proposed rule revisions will add language to the clinical trials policy in section OAC 317:30-3-57.1 that states that the Oklahoma Health Care Authority will provide a coverage determination within 72 hours on whether the study is appropriate and meets the members’ medical necessity needs. Additional revisions to the out-of-state services policy, at OAC 317:30-3-90, will add language to assure that clinical trials will be provided in accordance with all federal regulations and that OHCA's out-of-state policy does not apply to certain cases that involve clinical trials.  Furthermore, language will be added to allow for the override of prior authorizations that are related to lodging and meals services when they are provided in accordance with an approved clinical trial. Finally, revisions will add language that allows for a SoonerCare member to travel up to one hundred miles (100) from the Oklahoma border to receive dental services.
