The Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA) manages the costs of health care funded by the state in Oklahoma. It ensures that state-funded health care meets quality standards while providing a supportive system for citizens who rely on these services. OHCA purchases health care using state and federal funds, focusing on making health care accessible and improving health outcomes for low-income individuals, families, and vulnerable populations. The agency's approach includes analyzing strategies to enhance service quality and forming partnerships to better serve Oklahomans. Unlike private health care providers, OHCA operates within the public sector, emphasizing fiscal responsibility and the effective use of funds to meet health care needs.
