Qualified Health Plan (QHP) Directory Pilot (September 17, 2024)

As part of its ongoing work to improve access to care, reduce clinician burden, and support interoperability throughout the health sector, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is partnering with the state of Oklahoma on a first-of-its-kind directory pilot that will help inform the design and feasibility of any future efforts toward a National Directory of Healthcare (NDH). One goal of this pilot is to develop an automated, single, statewide centralized directory for Qualified Health Plans (QHPs) and providers in Oklahoma to improve data accuracy, lessen burden on providers and payers, lower administrative costs, support interoperable data exchange, and ultimately improve patient and provider experiences. CMS believes that this pilot will serve as a proof-of-concept and help inform any future development of an NDH that can serve as a centralized database for provider information.
