The Oklahoma Health Care Authority is hereby authorized to charge an enrollment fee and/or premium for the provision of health care coverage under the Oklahoma Medicaid Program Reform Act of 2003. Such charges, if unpaid, create a debt to the state and are subject to recovery by the Authority by any legal action against an enrollee, the heirs or next of kin of the enrollee in the event of the death of the enrollee. The Authority may end coverage for the nonpayment of such enrollment and/or premium pursuant to rules promulgated by the Oklahoma Health Care Authority Board.
