The Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA) manages the costs of health care funded by the state in Oklahoma. It ensures that the health care services provided meet acceptable standards while also creating a supportive system for citizens who rely on these services. OHCA's main functions include purchasing health care efficiently, analyzing ways to improve access and quality, and building partnerships to enhance health outcomes for Oklahomans. The agency serves low-income individuals, families, and vulnerable populations who depend on state-funded health care. Unlike private health care providers, OHCA focuses on cost control, quality assurance, and accessibility within the public health sector. Its goal is to responsibly allocate state and federal funds to procure necessary health care services while maintaining fiscal responsibility and improving the overall health of the community.
