GIVING INDEPENDENT PROVIDERS
A VOICE!
The Oklahoma Independent Provider Association
About Us
Joining the OKIPA does not mean you are losing your independence. Our association does, however, offer you the benefit of being part of a larger group, primarily for the purpose of reducing overhead and increasing revenue by joining with other independent providers to pursue business ventures. All programs within the IPA are a la carte so you get to choose what best fits your needs.
The Oklahoma Independent Provider Association (OKIPA) is a statewide association of independent healthcare providers united to protect and advance independent practice in Oklahoma. Joining OKIPA means gaining the collective strength of over 1,600 providers behind you, amplifying your voice in legislation, safeguards, and resources. All programs are à la carte, so you choose programs and resources that align with your specific practice needs.
Our Three Objectives
OKIPA exists to strengthen independent healthcare in Oklahoma—by expanding revenue options, lowering overhead, and giving providers a unified voice in policy and advocacy.
- 1
Increase Revenue
OKIPA vets and connects members to revenue opportunities, including ACO/CIN participation, Medicare Advantage arrangements, group purchasing, and other business ventures that individual practices couldn’t access alone.
- 2
Decrease Expenses
Through group purchasing power and vetted preferred vendor relationships—covering medical billing, credentialing, healthcare IT, banking, real estate, and more—members reduce overhead without sacrificing quality.
- 3
Advocate for Independent Providers
OKIPA serves as both an association and a lobbying organization. Membership dues fund our legislative efforts, and our team actively engages lawmakers and stakeholders on behalf of independent providers across all healthcare sectors in Oklahoma.
- Access to vetted Preferred Partners and vendor discounts
- Legislative lobbying on your behalf
- **COMING SOON** Member Portal
- Workshops, seminars, and educational events
- Privacy protection — OKIPA's LLC structure keeps all members confidential from the public
Mission & Vision
OKIPA is built to protect independent practice and strengthen the ability of providers to compete, negotiate, and thrive.
Keeping providers independent.
We support Oklahoma’s independent providers with practical resources, aligned partnerships, and advocacy—so they can remain autonomous while delivering outstanding care.
A level playing field for doctors and providers with health plans, health systems, and health policies through advocacy.
We envision a healthcare environment where independent providers can negotiate fairly, compete transparently, and shape policy—so patient care is guided by clinicians, not consolidation.
Establishing the Oklahoma Independent Providers
Dear Esteemed Colleagues,
We are thrilled to share some exciting developments that will shape the future of independent providers in Oklahoma. Under the dynamic leadership of Dan Chepaukus, our dedicated team of political activists is laying the groundwork for the Oklahoma Independent Providers Association (OKIPA). This initiative marks a significant step forward in advocating for the rights and interests of independent providers across our great state.
At OKIPA, we recognize the critical role that independent providers play in delivering quality services and support to our communities. Our mission is to ensure that your voices are heard and that we advocate effectively for policies that empower independent providers to thrive. With Dan Chepaukus at the helm, we are committed to building a strong foundation that prioritizes collaboration, advocacy, and sustainability.
**What This Means for You:**
1. **Unified Advocacy:** Through OKIPA, we will unite independent providers to advocate for fair policies and regulations that enhance our ability to serve Oklahomans. Together, we can amplify our voices and influence decision-makers.
2. **Resource and Support Network:** OKIPA will serve as a valuable resource, providing information, training, and support to help independent providers navigate the complexities of our industry.
3. **Building Relationships:** We will actively engage with legislators, stakeholders, and community leaders to foster relationships that promote understanding and collaboration. Our goal is to create a unified front that champions the needs of independent providers.
4. **Empowerment Through Education:** OKIPA will host workshops, seminars, and events to keep our members informed about legislative changes, best practices, and opportunities for growth. Knowledge is power, and we are dedicated to empowering our members.
As we embark on this journey, we invite you to join us in shaping the future of independent providers in Oklahoma. Together, we can build a robust association that not only represents our interests but also strengthens our communities.
Stay tuned for more updates as we work diligently to lay the groundwork for OKIPA. We look forward to your support and engagement as we move forward in this important initiative.
Thank you for being an integral part of our community!

Why Us
BUILT FOR INDEPENDENT PROVIDERS
When providers give up their independence, we believe that health care costs go up, quality goes down, access to care is limited, jobs are lost, communities suffer, providers feel less satisfied, and everybody pays…Our association is changing that.
OKIPA is an association of more than 1000 health care providers within the state of Oklahoma who are banding together to give a voice to independent providers, pursue revenue opportunities, and take advantage of economies of scale.
