As of April 1, 2024, many SoonerCare members are now getting their healthcare covered in a new way — through SoonerSelect health and dental plans. SoonerSelect members will be provided with health care through a health plan — similar to a health insurance plan. You’ll get the same health care services offered by SoonerCare, but some plans may offer extra benefits to help you improve your health.

This new system is called a managed care system and is a way to deliver more and better healthcare to you.

Each health plan asks you to select a primary care provider. A primary care provider is a doctor specialized in:

• Family Medicine
• Internal Medicine
• Pediatrics

Your PCP can also be an advanced practice provider like a nurse practitioner (N.P.) or a physician assistant (P.A.). You must choose a provider in your new health plan. They will look after your health, refer you to specialists if you need them, and coordinate all your care needs.
