Losing SoonerCare – Oklahoma

If you received a purple letter in the mail, it means your family is no longer eligible for SoonerCare coverage, or you may be losing it later in the year.

While this can be concerning, there are steps you can take to address the situation and ensure your family remains covered.

​

Steps to Take Immediately

Check Your SoonerCare Account Information:

Ensure all your information is up to date. This includes household size, marital status, employment details, and income. Sometimes, updating this information can make you eligible again.

You can view your application status at MySoonerCare.org or by calling (800) 987-7767.

​

Update Your Status for Eligibility:

Changes such as disability, pregnancy, Medicare eligibility, or SSI status can affect your SoonerCare eligibility. Make sure these updates are reflected in your account.

​

Examine the Letter from SoonerCare:

Determine who in your family is losing SoonerCare coverage.

Check if any children are still eligible for SoonerCare.

Review if the letter asks for any documents needed to maintain coverage.

​

Submit Required Documents:

Upload the necessary documents to your MySoonerCare.org account or mail them with your SoonerCare ID number. Ensuring all required documents are submitted can sometimes restore your coverage.

​

Options If You Are No Longer Eligible for SoonerCare

If you find out that you are indeed losing SoonerCare, don’t worry—there are other health insurance options available:

​

Employer-Sponsored Health Insurance:

Many full-time employees in Oklahoma receive health insurance through their jobs. Speak to your manager or HR department about potentially enrolling in an employer-sponsored health plan.

Issues may arise if you are outside the enrollment period.

​

The Health Insurance Marketplace:

If an employer-sponsored plan is too expensive for you or doesn’t cover your family adequately, the Health Insurance Marketplace can be a good alternative.

​

To be eligible for savings on the Marketplace, you’ll need:

The cost of the lowest-priced plan available for the employee only.

The cost of the plan for employee plus family coverage.

Your household income details.

Visit HealthCare.gov to create or update your application. Alternatively, you can call a broker who can help you navigate the process and find the best coverage for your needs.
