More workers, students are eligible for insurance
The Oklahoma Health Care Authority soon will expand eligibility in the Insure Oklahoma program to include more businesses and some college students.
The state program helps small businesses with 50 or fewer employees provide health insurance for workers, who also pay a portion of costs. The program will be expanded to include businesses with up to 99 employees and full-time college students ages 19 to 22 with household incomes of up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level. Lawmakers passed a bill two years ago to expand eligibility to businesses with 250 or fewer employees, and to full-time college students. But the authority had to wait for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ approval. Insure Oklahoma is funded through Medicaid and tobacco tax revenue.
