Can a spouse get paid to be a caregiver in Oklahoma?

Short answer

Yes, but only in limited cases

Only in limited cases. OKDHS may authorize a spouse or legal guardian as a paid ADvantage personal care provider only when documented criteria are met, such as the member's needs being so complex that risk would rise without them (OHCA ADvantage eligible providers rule).
