(a) In order for an employer to be eligible to participate in the Insure Oklahoma/O‑EPIC program the employer must:
-
(1) have no more than a total of 250 employees on its payroll. The increase in the number of employees from 50 to 250 will be phased in over a period of time as determined by the Oklahoma Health Care Authority. The number of employees is determined based on the third month employee count of the most recently filed OES‑3 form with the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission (OESC) and that is in compliance with all requirements of the OESC. Employers may provide additional documentation confirming terminated employees that will be excluded from the OESC employee count. If the employer is exempt from filing an OES-3 form or is contracted with a PEO or is a Child Care Center, in accordance with OHCA rules, this determination is based on appropriate supporting documentation, such as the W-2 Summary Wage and Tax form to verify employee count;
-
(2) have a business that is physically located in Oklahoma;
-
(3) be currently offering, or at the contracting stage to offer a QHP. The QHP coverage must begin on the first day of the month and continue through the last day of the month;
-
(4) offer QHP coverage to employees; and
-
(5) contribute a minimum 25 percent of the eligible employee monthly health plan premium;
(b) An employer who meets all requirements listed in subsection (a) of this Section must complete and submit an employer enrollment packet to the TPA.
(c) The employer must provide its Federal Employee Identification Number (FEIN).
(d) The employer must notify the TPA, within 5 working days from occurrence, of any Insure Oklahoma/O-EPIC employee's termination or resignation.
