Medicaid; requiring certain death record verifications; requiring certain denial or disenrollment of deceased individuals; prohibiting certain payments. Effective date.

Summary

The bill amends Oklahoma’s Medicaid eligibility statutes to require the Health Care Authority to verify death records before approving new applicants and to conduct monthly death‑record checks for current enrollees. If a death is confirmed, the applicant’s request is denied or the enrollee is promptly disenrolled, and any payments made after the date of death must be stopped and recovered. The measure aims to prevent improper Medicaid payments to deceased persons and improve program integrity.
