MODERATE

This bill modifies Oklahoma's Medicaid capitated contract requirements by adding penalties for entities that fail to meet minimum primary care expense thresholds, establishing preferential scoring for provider-led and provider-owned entities in contract awards, and adding new provisions for contract delays and urban region selections. The changes aim to ensure better care coordination, increase provider participation in Medicaid, and maintain financial accountability in the state's Medicaid program.

Scope change

The bill expands the scope from primarily establishing contract requirements to also including enforcement mechanisms (penalties and ineligibility) and new administrative provisions for contract management.

ENFORCEMENT

Added penalties and ineligibility provisions for contracted entities that fail to meet minimum primary care expense requirements (11% and 8% thresholds) by specified deadlines.

REQUIREMENT

Added preferential scoring methodology for provider-led and provider-owned entities in Medicaid contract requests, with specific criteria including care coordination experience and alternative payment model participation.

Added requirement for provider-led or provider-owned entities to demonstrate ability to expand coverage area and develop statewide operational readiness within five years.

Added authority for the Oklahoma Health Care Authority to approve delays in implementing capitated contracts to ensure financial and operational readiness.

Added provision allowing selection of provider-led or provider-owned entities for urban regions if they demonstrate ability to fulfill contract requirements.

TECHNICAL

Changed document title from 'AS INTRODUCED' to 'ENGROSSED SENATE BILL' indicating the bill has been amended and passed through committee review.
