Key Partners: State Medicaid agency, ADRCs, ombudsmen 

Oklahoma used CARES Act funds to contract with the 11 ADRCs that house the Ombudsman program. The contracts solidified a partnership with the Oklahoma Health Care Authority (the state Medicaid agency) to promote the Money Follows the Person (MFP) program.  The first phase of the project provided support to the Ombudsman program to educate family caregivers and the community about MFP using newspapers, radio and social media.  Phase 2 supported staff to visit the 300 Medicaid certified nursing facilities to educate residents about the MFP program.  The project's focus is on education, diversion and transition of residents to the community. See the attached flyers.
