Soonercare is a choice program offered by the Oklahoma Department of Health to help you take care of your health. With Soonercare, you can pay your hospital bills, but not all. With Soonercare, you can have your own medical home and your own doctor who can help you with many different things.
Adults enrolled in the SoonerCare program can access a wide range of treatments and services, including inpatient and outpatient care, behavioral medicine, prescription drugs and other health services. OHCA’s vision is that all Oklahoma residents enjoy optimal health with access to quality health care, regardless of their ability to pay.

Before a SoonerCare Medicaid application is approved, OHCA works with other agencies to perform a comprehensive automated data search on the applicant. OHCA can identify potential red flags even before the application is completed and request accompanying documentation to verify eligibility before membership is granted. Once a candidate is approved for Soonercare, OHCA screens the member daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly to proactively prevent fraud and abuse.
