§ 6058A. Enrollment of child under parent's health plan--Noncustodial parents
1. Upon request, provide complete information to the custodial person, the designated agency administering the State Medicaid Program, the state agency administering the provisions of 42 U.S.C., Sections 5 through 669, or the Child Support Enforcement Division of the Department of Human Services, regarding any insurance benefits to which the child is entitled, and any forms, publications, or documents necessary to apply for or to utilize the benefits available through that coverage;
2. To enroll the child under family coverage and deduct the employee's cost of the coverage from the employee's wages. The enrollment shall be made upon application to the employer by the custodial person, the designated agency administering the State Medicaid Program, or the state agency administering the provisions of 42 U.S.C., Sections 5 to 669, the Child Support Enforcement Division; and
provided, however, the provisions of this subsection shall not apply where the coverage is through a group plan and the group's coverage through the insurer is discontinued or the noncustodial parent ceases to be eligible for participation in the group plan.
D. An insurer may not impose requirements on a state agency, which has been assigned the rights of an individual eligible for medical assistance under Medicaid and covered for health benefits from the insurer, that are different from requirements applicable to an agent or assignee of any other individual covered.
E. As used in this section, “insurer” includes a licensed insurance company, not-for-profit hospital service or medical indemnity corporation, a fraternal benefit society, a health maintenance organization, a prepaid plan, a preferred provider organization, a multiple employer welfare arrangement, a self-insured, the State and Education Employees Group Insurance Board, or any other entity providing a plan of health insurance or health benefits in this state.
F. If child support services are being provided under the state child support plan as provided under Section 237 of Title 56 of the Oklahoma Statutes, the Child Support Enforcement Division shall notify the parent's employer to enroll the child in health care coverage available under the employer's plan by sending the employer a National Medical Support Notice issued pursuant to Section 466(a)(19) of the Social Security Act,1 and Section 609(a)(5)(C) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,2 as soon as the National Medical Support Notice is promulgated by the United States Department of Health and Human Services. The insurer, upon receipt from the employer of Part B of the National Medical Support Notice to Plan Administrator, shall comply with Part B of the National Medical Support Notice. The insurer may be fined up to Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) per month per child for each failure to comply with the requirements of the National Medical Support Notice. Fines collected shall be remitted to the Child Support Revenue Enhancement Fund created pursuant to Section 225 of Title 56 of the Oklahoma Statutes.
