What is SoonerCare Choice
Today?
• SoonerCare Choice is a
managed care model in
which each member is linked
to a primary care provider
who serves as their “medical
home”.
• PCPs manage the basic
health care needs, including
after hours care and
specialty referral of the
members on their panel.

members enrolled statewide
• Over 1,000 PCPs (up from 800+ in 2003)
• Each PCP has a max panel of 2,500
• PA or APN PCPs have a max panel of 1,250

Joint Principles of the PatientCentered Medical Home
In March 2007 the AAP, AAFP, ACP, and AOA,
representing approximately 333,000 physicians,
developed the following joint principles to
describe the characteristics of the PC-MH.
 Personal Physician
 Enhanced Access
 Physician Directed Practice
 Quality and Safety
 Whole Person Orientation
 Adequate Payment
 Care is coordinated and / or integrated

Current SoonerCare Choice
Reimbursement
Monthly Capitated “Bundled” payment
• Case Management / Care Coordination Fee
• Primary care office visits
• Limited lab services
Other codes paid on FFS basis
Incentive Payments
• EPSDT / 4th DTaP bonus
(lump sum payments)
8/10/2017

Recommended PCMH
Reimbursement
The most effective way to re-align payment incentives to
support the PCMH would be to combine traditional feefor-service for office visits with a three part model that
includes:
• A monthly care coordination payment
• A visit-based fee-for-service component
• A performance-based component

SoonerCare Choice Comparison
What Stays the Same?
Current funding remains the same
Provider determines medical necessity
Federal restriction (e.g. EMTALA, co-pays)
What Changes?
Prepayment for case management only
Referrals only needed for specialty care
Group contracts must designate a
medical director
Elimination of default autoassignment
Online provider enrollment

Proposed Additional
SoonerCare Choice Changes
• Coverage of new codes (e.g. after hours)
• OB/GYN specialists that do not provide
primary care may no longer be PCPs
• Members may change PCPs within the month
• Case Mgmt payment will be based on date
processed
