Section 317:35-5-6 - Determining categorical relationship to pregnancy-related services

(a) For applications made prior to January 1, 2014, categorical relationship to pregnancy-related services can be established by determining through medical evidence that the individual is currently or has been pregnant. Pregnancy must be verified by providing medical proof of pregnancy within thirty (30) days of application submission. OKDHS form 08MA005E, Notification of Needed Medical Services, is not required but will be accepted as medical verification. If proof of pregnancy is not provided within thirty (30) days of application submission, SoonerCare benefits will be closed for the pregnant woman at the end of the thirty (30) day period. The expected date of delivery must be established either by information from the applicant's physician or certified nurse midwife or the member's statement.

(b) Effective January 1, 2014, women who are pregnant, including twelve (12) months postpartum, are related to the pregnant women group. Pregnancy does not have to be verified unless the declaration that an applicant or member is pregnant is not reasonably compatible with other information available to the agency. The individual must also provide the expected date of delivery.
