Worried about losing your SoonerCare coverage?
We know doctor bills can be expensive – but you don't need to worry! We're here to help with advice and support so all your questions are answered.
During the COVID-19 public health emergency, SoonerCare (Medicaid) members continued to receive benefits without having to renew coverage. With the pandemic winding down, many Medicaid members are facing a new challenge: renewing their health coverage.
SoonerCare will soon kickstart the renewal process for members,
so it's important to stay on top of things and get ready! Don't wait until you lose coverage: being prepared now could save you a headache later.

All SoonerCare members need to make sure their information is up to date as soon as possible. This will help us know if you are still eligible, so we can let you know before you lose coverage.
Members who are still eligible for coverage but do not have their information up to date could also lose their benefits.

What to do if you don't qualify for continued coverage:
If your eligibility status has changed and you no longer qualify for SoonerCare (Medicaid) coverage, it doesn’t have to mean goodbye to affordable healthcare!
At Variety Care, we don't believe anyone should be held back from accessing health services - that's why our sliding fee scale makes sure even those without insurance can find the quality care they need. We offer a sliding fee scale to qualifying patients that adjusts fees for many services based on your household size and income.
If you no longer qualify for Medicaid, you can also find quality and affordable healthcare coverage through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace.
You can talk to one of Variety Care’s Certified Application Counselors or visit HealthCare.gov to find Marketplace plans and see if you can save on monthly premiums.
Don't let a change in eligibility keep you from accessing the care that's right for your needs! We are here to help - connect with one of Variety Care’s Certified Application Counselors by calling 405-632-6688.
