Tribal relations

Everyone deserves equality when it comes to health care. That’s why we work with Oklahoma’s tribes to meet the unique health care needs of our members who are American Indians or Alaska Natives (AI/AN).

Tribal outreach

Tribal outreach

Our tribal outreach program works closely with Oklahoma’s 39 sovereign tribal nations. We partner with their tribal governments to improve health care for our members who are AI or AN. Our tribal outreach efforts also support our Indian health care providers. 

 

The outreach program includes:
 

  • An Office of Tribal Affairs 

  • A Tribal Government Liaison

  • A Tribal Advisory Committee

Office of Tribal Affairs

 

This office has a group of regional tribal managers who are part of the Care Connection teams in their region. They help coordinate care for our AI/AN members. The group is led by the Tribal Government Liaison (TGL). The TGL works directly with sovereign tribes to develop health care policies. They also act as our main contact with Oklahoma Health Care Authority's Tribal Government Relations team.

 

You can email the Tribal Government liaison or call 1-844-365-4385 (TTY: 711). 

Tribal Advisory Board

 

The Tribal Advisory Board is a committee that includes members and health care providers. It lets us combine our health care experience and solutions with your tribal knowledge to improve health care for all AI/AN members. 

 

The Tribal Advisory Board:
 

  • Uses member feedback to enhance health care services

  • Helps Indian health care providers with billing, coding and electronic records

  • Supports the health care needs of AI/AN veterans
