A New Start How SoonerSelect helps Oklahoma families thrive BY TAYLOR BOLLINGER

Open enrollment for 2025 runs from May 1 to June 13

F or some Oklahoma families, healthcare isn’t just a necessity — it’s a constant balancing act. Medical bills can pile up, checkups get delayed and parents are sometimes forced to make difficult decisions, like choosing between putting food on the table or paying for an unexpected doctor’s visit. Even with standard health coverage, it’s often not enough to ease the everyday pressures of family life.

That’s where SoonerSelect comes in. Designed to provide affordable, comprehensive healthcare, SoonerSelect health plans offer eligible families extra support and valuable benefits that make it easier to stay healthy and manage family well-being. With open enrollment running from May 1 to June 13, 2025, families have the opportunity to explore their options and choose the plan that best fits their needs. Those already in a SoonerSelect plan who don’t take action will remain in their current coverage. But for many, this is a chance to access benefits that truly make a difference. More than just healthcare To illustrate the journey of a member, let’s take the hypothetical example of Ashley, a 28-year-old single mother working hard to support her child while preparing for the arrival of a new baby. With everyday expenses and unexpected costs adding up, she would be looking for support that goes beyond the basics. During open enrollment, Ashley would review her options and enroll in a SoonerSelect plan designed specifically to support families like hers. What she would find isn’t just health coverage. It’s a full network of care and resources tailored to her needs.
