Effective May 1, Oklahoma has transitioned to a State-based Exchange on the Federal Platform (SBE-FP), achieving a significant milestone toward more control of its individual market and consumer experience. Oklahoma consumers will continue to use HealthCare.gov to shop for and enroll in health coverage for plan years 2026 and 2027.

As part of this transition, the Oklahoma Insurance Department (OID) will manage key Marketplace functions as an SBE-FP, including:
• Public engagement and awareness
• Community assistance programs
• Health plan management
• Consumer hotline support

This transition is the first step toward Oklahoma’s longer-term implementation of a full State-based Exchange (SBE) for the 2028 Open Enrollment Period.

What you need to know:
• OID’s Get Covered page is now available as a central location for Oklahoma’s Health Insurance Marketplace coverage information, enrollment assistance, and answers to common questions: https://www.oid.ok.gov/ohim-get-covered/.
• Consumers will continue to enroll on HealthCare.gov for plan years 2026 and 2027. There is no change at this time to the enrollment platform consumers use to apply for and select coverage.

Know which Insurance Commissioner candidate are you voting for? June Primaries are coming up and if you haven't had a chance to hear from the candidates themselves, check out this interview from the BIGIOK:

BIGiOK’s Insurance Commissioner Candidate Forum at the INSURCON 26 gave attendees a valuable look at how the Republican candidates view Oklahoma’s insurance market and the role of the Oklahoma Insurance Department.

Throughout the discussion, several common themes emerged. All four candidates pointed to rising property insurance costs, the need for greater competition among carriers, and the importance of restoring consumer trust in the insurance system. They also agreed that Oklahoma’s weather risk continues to shape the market and that stronger mitigation efforts, including better construction standards and rural fire protection, must remain part of the conversation.

Where the candidates differed was mainly in emphasis.

Marty Quinn highlighted legislative experience and the need to improve the overall business climate.
Gretta Schuler focused on consumer concerns and practical local solutions.
Chris Meredith stressed transparency, data access, and operational reform.
Bob Sullivan centered his comments on trust, accountability, and the value of the independent agent perspective.
For agents in the room, the forum reinforced one clear point: the next commissioner will play a major role in shaping affordability, competition, and confidence in Oklahoma’s insurance marketplace.

As rainy weather moves in this week, here is a reminder from Insurance Commissioner Mulready on how to prepare.

First, let’s talk about protecting your most valuable asset. The Strengthen Oklahoma Homes (SOH) Program is open to homeowners statewide. You could qualify for a $10,000 grant to fortify your roof, reduce the impact of events, and save on insurance. Homeowners are seeing an average annual premium savings of almost $800! Get started by visiting oid.ok.gov/okready.
Don’t miss this opportunity to boost your resilience before severe weather strikes.

Build or Update Your Home Inventory
Having an inventory on hand will save you time if you need to file a claim. Document your home and belongings by taking photos and videos and writing down serial numbers. If you opt for a physical inventory list, scan it, keep a physical copy in a safe place, and upload a digital copy to a secure cloud service.

If you don’t have a home safety plan, create one and update your current plan if you have one. Make sure you have multiple ways to receive alerts and that your emergency contacts are up to date. Designate your safe places for different disaster scenarios, such as tornadoes, floods and wildfires. Take this opportunity to clean out your storm shelter. Don’t forget to factor in your loved ones’ unique needs.

For your go-bag, have copies of important documents, identification, insurance policies, cash, nonperishable food and water ready to go. Pack safety items like masks, gloves, a flashlight, a battery-powered radio, a phone charger, and a power bank for electronic devices. When watches or warnings are issued, add clothing and any last-minute necessities so you’re ready to leave at a moment’s notice.

Take time to understand your insurance policy. Know your deductible and whether your home is covered for actual cash value or replacement cost. Talk to your agent about whether your coverage reflects today’s rebuilding costs. Depending on where you live, you may also need separate flood or earthquake coverage.

Severe weather season is here, but preparation puts you in control. If you need help with insurance questions or claims, please reach out to the Oklahoma Insurance Department (OID) at oid.ok.gov or at 800-522-0071. For additional preparedness information, head to oid.ok.gov/GetReady.
