We work to ensure Oklahomans have access to better health and better care, regardless of their ability to pay.

About us

About Us The Oklahoma Health Care Authority is the primary entity in the state of Oklahoma charged with controlling costs of state-purchased health care. The agency must balance this fiscal responsibility with two, equally important goals: 1. Assuring that state-purchased health care meets acceptable standards of care; 2. Ensuring that citizens of Oklahoma who rely on state-purchased health care are served in a progressive and positive system. Our Mission Statement Our mission is to responsibly purchase state and federally funded health care in the most efficient and comprehensive manner possible; and to analyze and recommend strategies for optimizing the accessibility and quality of health care; and to cultivate relationships to improve the health outcomes of Oklahomans. Our Vision Our vision is for Oklahomans to be healthy and to have access to quality health care services regardless of their ability to pay. Core Functions The agency core function summary is a high-level, extremely simplified overview of each OHCA unit duties, responsibilities and contact information. The core function summary does not necessarily reflect all of the required or performed functions of each unit. The core function summary also includes a count of currently filled full time positions (FTE). FTE counts per unit and filled FTE per division figures do not include vacant positions. The information is valid as of July 2009 and is subject to change.

    Each year, state employees have the unique opportunity to contribute to a wide range of vetted charities through the workplace. The State Charitable Campaign, governed by a dedicated board of state employees, supports hundreds of organizations doing essential work in communities in Oklahoma and around the world. Ellen Buettner, CEO of the Oklahoma Health Care Authority, is this year's SCC Chair! Ellen kicked off the campaign for state employees this week at the Oklahoma state capitol.

  • Today is National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. You can’t smell or taste fentanyl. The only way to determine a substance contains fentanyl is by testing for it. We're teaming up with the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services to remind Oklahomans that fentanyl test strips and Naloxone (overdose-reversal medication) are available to order online for free. Learn more and order free resources at okimready.org.
