Oklahoma HB1772 amends Medicaid to prioritize in-state medical providers over out-of-state ones for patient-present treatments.
Oklahoma HB1772 amends the state Medicaid program to prioritize contracting with in-state medical providers for treatments requiring the patient's physical presence, unless out-of-state providers are necessary. The term "treatment" is defined as services needing direct care from a medical provider when the patient is present. Remote services, such as laboratory analysis, are excluded from this definition. This change aims to support local healthcare providers while ensuring compliance with state and federal laws.
