Saint Francis & Ascension St. John — Different Referral Worlds

Saint Francis Health System

Northeast Oklahoma's Largest Independent System

A major hub for specialty referrals across Tulsa and surrounding counties — independent practices affiliated here need coordinated enrollment across multiple facility NPIs.

Ascension St. John

Faith-Based System, Statewide Network Ties

Part of a larger national system with its own managed care contracting patterns distinct from Saint Francis — practices working with both need separate credentialing tracking for each.

Common Questions

Medical Billing Credentialing Tulsa — FAQ

Do Tulsa practices need different credentialing than Oklahoma City practices?
The state-level process (SoonerCare/OHCA enrollment, SoonerSelect plan credentialing) is the same statewide, but Tulsa's two-system referral landscape (Saint Francis and Ascension St. John) is distinct from OKC's three-system market — we track both separately.
Is Tulsa's behavioral health sector growing, and does that affect billing?
Yes — Tulsa has seen steady growth in independent outpatient behavioral health practices. These require specific SoonerSelect prior-authorization workflows distinct from standard primary care billing, which we track for Tulsa-area behavioral health clients.
Who is the Medicare Administrative Contractor for Tulsa?
Novitas Solutions administers Medicare Part A and B for Jurisdiction H, which covers all of Oklahoma including Tulsa.
