The Food is Medicine Act establishes a framework for improving health outcomes for Medicaid members with nutrition-related chronic diseases in Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Health Care Authority is directed to seek federal approval to provide coverage for nutrition supports under the state Medicaid program, which will include services such as case management, nutrition counseling, meals, nutrition prescriptions, and grocery provisions. The Act emphasizes the importance of involving community-based organizations and local growers to promote the purchase of locally grown food in nutrition prescriptions.

Additionally, the State Department of Education is tasked with providing technical assistance to schools applying for grants under the Oklahoma Farm to School Program Act, aimed at expanding student access to fresh, healthy food. The Act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes a declaration of emergency to ensure its immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
