OK SPA 22-0011 Independently Licensed Psychologist Services

The Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA), in coordination with the Department of Mental Health & Substance Abuse Services (DMHSAS), submitted a disaster relief state plan amendment (SPA) to allow adults in the Medicaid program access to services provided by licensed clinical psychologists who can bill independently and are practicing within state scope of practice. Services provided by independently contracted clinical psychologists were previously a State Plan benefit only available to children. The OHCA will pursue a permanent SPA to extend this flexibility and access upon the termination of the public health emergency (PHE).
