More About CHAT Participants

OK CHAT sessions involve 12-18 individuals who represent a demographic cross section of the communities where the OK CHAT sessions takes place. Each session will last approximately three hours.

Using computers, participants will make decisions on a basic health benefit plan in three steps: individually, with a partner, and as a group.

The sessions will begin in August. The Oklahoma Insurance Department will compile and issue its findings to a legislative task force in the fall.

The graphic below is a sample of the results of the OK CHAT session. The white dots indicate which benefits the participants decided should be included in the basic benefit plan.
