Coverage Choices for Cleveland County

Health insurance Norman residents carry usually comes from a handful of sources. Each source suits a different stage of life. Here is how each one works locally.

Cleveland County Marketplace Coverage

Oklahomans enroll on HealthCare.gov, while the state insurance department oversees the market. All Marketplace plans cover pre-existing conditions. Also, more than 9 in 10 Oklahoma enrollees recently qualified for financial help.

  • Open Enrollment currently opens November 1
  • Enroll by December 15 for January 1 coverage
  • Students losing a parent's plan get a 60-day window

Short-Term Plans for Brief Gaps

UnitedHealthcare short-term plans can bridge a gap, such as the months after graduation. In Oklahoma, short-term terms run 1 month up to 364 days; ask an agent for options. Still, UnitedHealthcare short-term plans do not renew.

However, these are not ACA plans, so pre-existing conditions may be excluded. Learn more on our short-term coverage page.

Add-On Plans for Teeth, Eyes and Life

Extra coverage pays for things medical plans skip. In addition, it moves with you after graduation or a job change.

SoonerCare for Norman Families

Oklahoma expanded SoonerCare to adults 19 to 64 up to 138 percent of poverty. Soon, though, a federal rule asks many of those adults to report 80 hours of work or activities monthly. Kids and expectant mothers can qualify with more income than adults.

Options for OU Students and Young Adults

Young adults in Norman have more choices than they might think. Here is a quick comparison.
