Community Health Services — The Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA) is seeking approval of emergency rules and a state plan amendment to provide coverage and reimbursement for community health services. These services are performed by community health workers (CHW) within a public health clinic setting. CHWs are critical members of the public health workforce who assist the community with access to services. Specifically, CHWs will be able to provide various screening assessments, health education, health system navigation, and other advocacy-type services. The request to provide coverage for CHWs came from the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH), who will provide the state funding.

Please view the Public Notice ; draft State Plan Amendment #24-0024 and draft rules here: APA WF # 24-34. You may submit feedback via the comment box.
