INSTRUCTIONS TO STAFF 317:35-9-75

Issued 1-15-19

1. The Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA) no longer issues or prints copies of medical identification (ID) cards. Providers verify a member's eligibility by accessing the Eligibility Verification System, also known as the "Provider Network," at www.okhca.org through the Provider Portal. When members need a physical card for community resources purposes:

(1) Online Enrollment members may log on to their Online Member Account and print the card; and

(2) Non-Online Enrollment members may contact the local Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS) county office to obtain a printed version of the card. DHS staff enters the member’s information into the Eligibility tab on the Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) Extranet and clicks on the link "Display Member ID Card" to print a copy of the front and back of the medical ID card.
