SoonerCare Payments To cover the initial State Mandate of a 10% reduction in the total agency budget, OHCA instituted a 3.25% reduction in all SoonerCare provider payments effective April 1, 2010. A second reduction of 3.50% in all provider payments was under discussion earlier this year. These reductions did not materialize. In addition to these reductions, payment for newborn circumcisions was under discussion for elimination earlier this year too. As of August 12, 2010, SoonerCare continues to pay for newborn circumcisions. There are no plans by OHCA to stop paying for this service. According to OHCA representatives, all budget cuts have been implemented and no further (provider) rate reductions are on the table for discussion at this time. IMPORTANT NOTICE "The CDC does NOT require any registration on the internet to receive a vaccine, and any e-mail suggesting it does is a fake that is looking for personal information that can be exploited illegally". The agency "warned against following unsolicited links or responding to unsolicited e-mails and cautioned against visiting websites that are unknown."
