Profiles in Coverage: Oklahoma Employer/Employee Partnership for Insurance Coverage

On September 30, 2005, Oklahoma received approval from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for the state’s Premium Assistance program called the Oklahoma Employer/Employee Partnership for Insurance Coverage (O-EPIC). O-EPIC is intended to provide premium assistance for health insurance coverage targeting some 50,000 low wage working adults in Oklahoma. SCI recently talked with Matt Lucas, Director of the O-EPIC program, on how it functions and its experience during the first year of operation. The profile is available on the SCI website.
