317:55-3-11. Cost sharing

[Revised 09-01-24]

CE responsibilities. The CE or DBM shall ensure that all Enrollees are held harmless by providers for payment for any existing covered services, other than required cost sharing, during the continuity of care period. The CE or DBM shall not impose premiums or charges on Enrollees that are in excess of those permitted in the SoonerCare program in accordance with OAC 317:30-3-5 and the Oklahoma Medicaid State Plan. If the CE or DBM fails to comply with OAC 317:55-3-11, the OHCA may impose any or all the CE intermediate sanctions, found at OAC 317:55-5-10 and the CE Contract, or DBM administrative remedies, found at OAC 317:55-5-11 and the DBM Contract.

(1) In accordance with Section 1916(e) of the Act, a provider participating in the SoonerSelect program may not deny care or services to an eligible individual based on such individual's inability to pay the co-payment. An enrollee's assertion of the inability to pay the co-payment establishes this inability. This rule does not change the fact that a member is liable for these charges, and it does not preclude the provider from attempting to collect the co-payment.

(2) Providers will be required to refund any co-payment amounts the provider collected from the member in error and/or above the family's aggregate cost sharing maximum.
