SoonerCare moves to Patient-Centered Medical Home model

SoonerCare Choice Redesign

At the request of our provider community and with collaboration with our Medical Advisory Task Force, the Oklahoma Health Care Authority implemented a patient-centered medical home primary care delivery system on January 1, 2009. This model incorporates a managed care component with traditional fee-for-service and incentive payments. It is our intent to build on the successes already achieved in SoonerCare Choice to establish a patient-centered medical home for all SoonerCare Choice members.
