Oklahoma SoonerCare HCA-12A Prior Authorization Request

The Oklahoma Health Care Authority's HCA-12A is the general paper request for SoonerCare prior authorization of medical services such as DME, home health, private duty nursing, vision care, audiology and sleep studies. A prescribing physician meets it when signing the prescription and diagnosis for a member's requested service. The servicing provider then submits it with documentation through the web PA process.

Who completes it

The prescribing physician completes and signs Section I and gives the diagnosis codes, estimated length of treatment and prescription in Section III. The servicing provider completes the member, provider, date span and line-item sections and signs Section IV.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
OHCA lists it as the form to attach as required documentation when requesting a web PA through the SoonerCare provider portal; it can also be faxed.
Who pays
Each line item shows total units for the date span and total billed charges, and skipped lines cause the request to be cancelled.

Good to know

  • Section V assignment codes include 01 Home Health, 04 Physician, 06 Transplant, 12 DME, 17 Vision Care, 21 PD Nursing, 40 High Risk OB and 46 Sleep Studies.
  • Boxes at the top mark the request as initial, amended or additional documentation, and flag whether photos or videos are included.
  • Do not skip lines in Section VI; the form warns the PA will be cancelled, and each description must fit on one line.
  • Changes to an approved request use the HCA-60 PA Amendment, and out-of-state services use the HCA-65 Out of State PA form.

How this list is checked

A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source.

Frequently asked questions

Do SoonerSelect managed care members use the HCA-12A?

No. Plans in SoonerSelect, Oklahoma's Medicaid managed care program launched in 2024, use their own prior authorization forms and processes. The HCA-12A applies to SoonerCare services authorized by the Oklahoma Health Care Authority itself, so check the member's enrollment before completing it.

Who signs the Oklahoma HCA-12A?

Two signatures are needed. The prescribing physician signs Section I, confirming the prescription and diagnosis entered in Section III, and the servicing provider signs Section IV. The current version of the form is the one revised October 4, 2017.
