Eligibility for employers is determined by the TPA using the eligibility requirements listed in OAC 317:45-7-1.  An employer determined eligible for Insure Oklahoma/O-EPIC is approved for up to a 12 month period.  The eligibility period begins on the first day of the month following the date of approval.  The eligibility period ends the last day of the 12th month.  The eligibility period will renew automatically unless the employer's eligibility has been closed (refer to OAC 317:45-7-8).  The TPA notifies the employer of the eligibility decision for employer and employees.
