Oklahoma HB1576 mandates Medicaid coverage for rapid whole genome sequencing for beneficiaries meeting specific criteria.
Oklahoma HB1576 requires the Oklahoma Health Care Authority to cover rapid whole genome sequencing for Medicaid beneficiaries who meet certain criteria, such as having a complex or acute illness of unknown etiology and receiving hospital services in an intensive care unit. The genetic data generated from this sequencing can be used in scientific research if consent is provided by the patient or their legal guardian. The act also allows the Chief Operating Officer to add additional conditions based on new medical evidence.
