Oklahoma Providers: Enroll Now in the Qualified Health Plan Directory Pilot
Date: 08/11/26
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the state of Oklahoma launched a Qualified Health Plan (QHP) Directory pilot to simplify how providers manage their directory information. If you’re an Oklahoma provider who participates in Marketplace health plans, including Stand-Alone Dental Plans, you can now use a single, centralized system to review and update your provider directory information.
Providers generally update information across 20 payers, often entering the same changes in multiple systems. This pilot aims to lessen your burden and streamline the process through one platform. The need is clear: 67% of physicians want a single system to manage directory information. We estimate the average physician practice will be able to update their information in about 4 minutes and save $4,700 per year.
The Oklahoma Insurance Department requires all Marketplace health plans to participate in this pilot. Through the QHP Directory Pilot Portal, you can review and update the information that appears in participating health plans' consumer-facing directories. By participating, you help make sure your information is current across health plans, and you won’t have to submit the same updates in multiple places. This saves time, lessens administrative work, and makes it easier for plans and patients to connect.
The Qualified Health Plan Directory Pilot Portal is now available.
