SECTION 317:30-5-326. Provider eligibility

  The Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA) is responsible for assuring that necessary transportation is available to all eligible SoonerCare members who are in need of SoonerCare medical services in accordance with 42 CFR 431.53. The agency contracts with a broker to provide statewide curb to curb coverage for non-emergency transportation under the SoonerRide program. The broker provides the most appropriate and least costly mode of transportation necessary to meet the individual needs of SoonerCare members. Payment for covered services to the broker is made pursuant to the methodology described in the Oklahoma Title XIX State Plan. The agency contracts directly with ambulance and air providers for all other transportation needs for eligible members not approved by SoonerRide.
