House Bill No. 2052, introduced by Stinson, amends Section 6903.1 of Title 36 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the exemption of certain domestic health maintenance organizations (HMOs) from specific provisions of the Health Maintenance Organizations Act. The bill updates the exemptions for domestic HMOs that contract with the Oklahoma Health Care Authority to provide basic health services exclusively to Medicaid recipients. These organizations will now only be subject to the benefit coverage criteria and regulations of the Medicaid program, and they will be exempt from several sections of the current law, including various subsections related to health care provisions.

The bill specifies that the exemptions will apply solely to the services provided to Medicaid recipients, as outlined in Section 4002.2 of Title 56 of the Oklahoma Statutes. The effective date for this act is set for November 1, 2025.
