Bill > SB1564

This bill mandates that the Oklahoma Health Care Authority and any entities it contracts with must use a specific billing code, known as HCPCS code G0330, for claims related to facility fees for dental surgeries performed under general anesthesia in operating rooms, particularly for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. The bill requires the Authority to set a reasonable reimbursement rate for these services that covers the actual cost of providing them, and all contracted entities must reimburse these claims at least at that established rate. This change is intended to ensure adequate payment for these specialized dental procedures and will take effect on July 1, 2026, with an emergency clause allowing it to be enacted immediately upon passage and approval.
