SoonerCare
Concept submitted to CMS in summer of 2007. Work began after approval December 2007 Launched: Sept. 7, 2010 - www.MySoonercare.org
Streamlines Policy,
Processes, and Access to Services
• Over 500,000 Non-Insured Oklahomans
• 22% Of Uninsured Live In Rural Areas- Limited access to OKDHS offices
• Oklahomans Are Unsure If They Qualify- It’s Healthcare, Not Welfare- Private, real-time determination available 24/7
• Enrollment Process is Broken- Dependency upon Legacy Mainframe- Client Numbering - Streamline enrollment and verification- Intuitive application with editing controls

Be Careful What You Wish For
• eMPI – Client Numbering and Normalization
• Confusion – Applicants/Members/Partners/Co-workers
• Human Services – County Coordination is Imperative
• Call Centers – Staff Up!
• Organization – Enrollment Operation Structure
• Automation – Data Driven System (the good, the bad & the ugly)
• Conversion – Auto-populate what you don’t have
• Compatibility – Browsers and Pop-up Blockers
• Staffing – You’re going to need some experts!
• Design Outside Box – Generic Family & Optional Denial Letter

• Design Tool – HP Wireframe Focus Groups/Application Flow
• A Variety of Approaches Are Critical
• Like “Esurance”, technology when you want it… people when you don’t.
As A Matter of Fact…We Did!
