What is different about coverage in Oklahoma
SoonerCare, Oklahoma's Medicaid program run by the Oklahoma Health Care Authority, expanded to cover more low-income adults starting July 2021, and Oklahoma residents use the federal HealthCare.gov Marketplace for ACA shopping. Oklahoma Insurance Plans is free to use for Oklahoma callers working through Medicare, ACA, life, or supplemental coverage questions.
- SoonerCare, run by the Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA), has a helpline at 1-800-987-7767 -- that's the right place to start if your Oklahoma Medicaid eligibility changed. Oklahoma expanded Medicaid eligibility to more low-income adults starting July 2021.
- Oklahoma does not run its own ACA exchange, so Oklahoma marketplace shopping and subsidy questions go through the federal HealthCare.gov Marketplace.
- Free Medicare counseling is available in Oklahoma through the State Health Insurance Counseling Program (SHIP) at 1-800-763-2828, run directly by the Oklahoma Insurance Department and separate from Oklahoma Insurance Plans's own free phone help.
Worth knowing: Oklahoma expanded Medicaid relatively recently, in July 2021, following a 2020 statewide ballot measure -- worth knowing since older information about Oklahoma Medicaid eligibility may predate that expansion and understate who currently qualifies.

Where do I shop for ACA health plans in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma residents shop through HealthCare.gov (federal Marketplace) (https://www.healthcare.gov/oklahoma/). An independent agent such as Lander LLC can explain the plans for you, but the marketplace is the only place premium tax credits are applied.
How do I apply for Medicaid in Oklahoma?
Medicaid in Oklahoma is run through SoonerCare (Oklahoma Health Care Authority) (https://oklahoma.gov/ohca.html). Eligibility depends on income, household size and other factors, and it is decided by the state, not by an insurance agency.
Who regulates insurance in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma Insurance Department (OID) (https://www.oid.ok.gov) regulates insurance companies and agents in Oklahoma. You can use it to check that an agent or company is licensed and to file a complaint.
Is there free, unbiased Medicare help in Oklahoma?
Yes. Oklahoma SHIP (State Health Insurance Counseling Program) (1-800-763-2828) offers free Medicare counseling through the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), separate from any insurance agency.
Does Oklahoma Insurance Plans cost anything to use?
There is no cost to call or to speak with an agent. Insurance premiums and plan costs are set by the insurance companies and are separate from our help.
