Okla. Stat. tit. 74, § 74-1310.1: Certified employees - Payment of health and dental

insurance premiums.

A. If a certified employee elects health care coverage under a

plan offered by a school district, including a plan offered by the

Oklahoma Health Care Authority or a self-insured plan offered by the

school district, then a school district shall pay no less than one

hundred percent (100%) of the premium amount for the HealthChoice

(HI) option plan for an individual offered by the Authority.

The amount a school district is required to pay pursuant to this

subsection shall be reduced by the flexible benefit allowance

provided for in Section 26-105 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes.

B. The premium for education entities that participate in the

health and dental insurance plans offered through the Oklahoma

Employees Insurance and Benefits Act shall be the same as paid by

state agencies for said plans.

C. All education entities that participate in the insurance

plans offered through the Oklahoma Employees Insurance and Benefits

Act shall forward the appropriate premiums for each employee to the

Authority no later than the tenth day of each month following the

month for which payment is due. Nothing shall prohibit a school

district from forwarding appropriate premiums to the Authority prior

to the month for which payment is due.
