Paying for treatment in Oklahoma
Most commercial health plans in Oklahoma cover eating disorder treatment as a mental health benefit, subject to your plan's deductible, copays, and prior-authorization requirements for higher levels of care. In-network coverage depends on whether your specific plan contracts with the program you are considering, so confirm directly with the program.(source)
SoonerCare (Oklahoma Medicaid) covers eating disorder treatment as a mental health benefit, with prior authorization and medical-necessity review for higher levels of care. Laureate Eating Disorders Program in Tulsa accepts SoonerCare for all of its levels of care, including residential and inpatient, so it is the main in-state option for higher-level eating disorder care covered by Medicaid. Children may also qualify through SoonerCare, which administers Oklahoma's CHIP coverage.(source)
Oklahoma requires mental health and substance use parity with medical and surgical benefits on fully insured commercial plans, and is one of the few states that specifically certifies Certified Eating Disorder Treatment Programs through its mental health authority. The state has no eating-disorder-specific insurance coverage mandate beyond the parity framework and federal MHPAEA.(source)

Common questions about eating disorder treatment in Oklahoma
Where can I get residential eating disorder treatment in Oklahoma?
In-state residential eating disorder care is available in the Tulsa and Norman areas. Laureate Eating Disorders Program at Saint Francis Health System in Tulsa serves adolescent females (ages 12 to 17) and adult women (18 and up) and accepts SoonerCare. Living Hope Eating Disorder Treatment Center in Norman is gender-inclusive, serving ages 15 and up. Oklahoma Children's Hospital OU Health in Oklahoma City handles inpatient medical stabilization for adolescents.
Does SoonerCare (Oklahoma Medicaid) cover eating disorder treatment?
Acceptance varies by program, even among in-state specialty programs. Coverage can also depend on your specific plan and the level of care you need. The program you call will confirm whether your specific SoonerCare plan covers its care.
What about eating disorder treatment in the panhandle, southeastern Oklahoma, or rural counties?
In-person specialty programs are located in Tulsa, Norman, and Oklahoma City. The panhandle, southeastern counties, rural western Oklahoma, and smaller cities outside the three metros have no in-person eating disorder specialty program. For residents in those areas, virtual programs are usually the most workable option for outpatient and intensive outpatient care. Travel to one of the three metros is generally reserved for higher levels of care.
