Gov. Kevin Stitt will participate in a federal Medicaid announcement Thursday in which he is expected to unveil his health care plan.

Stitt will travel to Washington, D.C. to join Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Seema Verma and White House officials in a news conference about Medicaid changes.

National news outlets have reported federal officials will use the event to outline their plan to overhaul Medicaid by letting states receive Medicaid funds in the form of controversial block grants.

Stitt, who has not revealed details of his health care plan, has expressed a desire to completely overhaul how Oklahoma's Medicaid program, SoonerCare, is funded by shifting to a block grant funding model. Under a block grant system, Oklahoma would receive a lump sum of funding for Medicaid, as opposed to the federal government reimbursing Oklahoma for a share of its Medicaid costs based on a funding formula.
