Privacy Protections for Mental Health Records – SB 1716 (by Sen. Todd Gollihare)

  • OOA Request Bill
  • Authorizes professional licensing boards to enter into executive session when discussing mental health documents related to a licensee under investigation or review by a professional licensing board, provided the executive session is held only to review documents pertaining to the individual in question, the documents reviewed are kept confidential, and the licensee is given the opportunity to be present during any witness testimony or discussion of the mental health documents.
  • This protects the privacy of physicians and other licensees and destigmatizes seeking treatment for mental health concerns.
  • Many health professionals are afraid to seek treatment due to fear of public stigma if that treatment is disclosed to their licensure board.
  • This bill will help ensure the wellbeing of Oklahoma’s healthcare providers, and therefore their patients.
    • Status: Signed into law; effective Nov. 1, 2024

Prior Authorization – SB 1703 (Daniels/McEntire)

  • Establishes a tax credit for faculty preceptors, including allopathic physicians, osteopathic physicians, advanced practical registered nurses, advanced practice registered nursing students, and physician assistants, who conduct preceptorship rotations for medical students, residents, advanced practical registered nurses, and physician assistant students.
  • The tax credit, applicable from 2026 to 2035, allows faculty preceptors to claim credits for up to ten preceptorship rotations per calendar year.
  • The credit amounts vary for medical students, residents, advanced practical registered nurses, and physician assistant students.
    • Status: Signed into law; effective May 16, 2024

 

Managed Care – SB 1675 (McCortney/McEntire)

  • Extends the deadline for the Oklahoma Health Care Authority to implement provisions related to capitated managed care contracts from October 1, 2023, to April 1, 2024.
  • Mandates that all contracted entities complete the credentialing or re- credentialing of a provider within 60 calendar days of receiving a completed application.
  • Changes the timeframe for a contracted entity to respond to a request for services for a hospitalized member from 1 business day to 24 hours
  • Requires peer-to-peer conversations following an adverse determination to occur within 24 hours.  
  • Imposes a 3% limit on the percentage of claims subject to post-payment audits and expands provisions regarding denied claims to include downgraded claims.
  • Extends the duration of the minimum reimbursement rates established by the Authority from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2027.
  • Stipulates that at least one capitated managed care contract providing statewide coverage to Medicaid members must be awarded to a provider-owned entity that submitted a responsive proposal and demonstrated the ability to fulfill the contract requirements.
    • Status: Signed into law; effective June 16, 2024

 

OPPOSED LEGISLATION
