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.

📸 Today, State Medicaid Director Traylor Rains spoke at the PACE State Forum, which brought together community partners and stakeholders to explore the future of care for Oklahoma's elder population. The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) is vital in supporting aging, disability and long-term services by ensuring comprehensive, coordinated care. This forum was a key opportunity for organizations to learn, share ideas and collaborate on innovative ways to enhance the well-being of our older adults.
