          The Medically Fragile Waiver Program is a Medicaid Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waiver used to finance non-institutional long-term care services through Oklahoma's SoonerCare program for medically fragile individuals. To receive  Medically Fragile Program services, individuals must be at least 19 years of age, be SoonerCare eligible, and  meet the OHCA skilled nursing facility (SNF) or hospital level of care (LOC) criteria.  Eligibility does not guarantee placement in the program as Waiver membership is limited.
