Effective July 1, 2001, Healthcare Oklahoma (code 6W) will terminate its provider agreement with Norman Regional Hospital, Purcell Municipal Hospital and 129 physicians in the Norman, Oklahoma area. Accordingly, the Plan will only provide benefits for emergency visits or admissions to those providers as of July 1, 2001.

We are authorizing an opportunity for certain Healthcare Oklahoma enrollees in code 6W, to change their enrollment to another participating plan. Only enrollees who live or work in the following zip codes are eligible to change: 73010, 73019, 73026, 73031, 73037, 73051, 73065, 73068, 73069, 73070, 73071, 73072, 73080, and 73093.

The opportunity to change enrollment will begin immediately and continue through June 30, 2001. The effective date of all enrollment changes will be the first day of the pay period following the one in which an enrollee makes the change, but no later than July 1, 2001. Enrollees who do not change plans must contact Healthcare Oklahoma to request a change in Primary Care Physicians.

Please note that the Plan will send notices to affected enrollees. We have attached a copy of that notice for your information.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Abby L. Block, Chief Insurance Policy    and Information Division
