This bill mandates that the Oklahoma Health Care Authority and its contracted entities adopt the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code G0330 for the reimbursement of claims related to facility fees for dental surgeries performed under general anesthesia. This applies specifically to surgeries conducted in operating rooms, including ambulatory surgical centers, for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities.
Additionally, the bill requires the Authority to establish a reasonable reimbursement rate that reflects the actual costs of providing these services, and it stipulates that all contracted entities must reimburse claims at no less than this established rate. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
