Who We Are
Access Care Clinically Integrated Network is a provider-led network of Oklahoma’s independent healthcare providers. Our goal is to work together to improve quality and outcomes for patients while efficiently managing healthcare costs and maintaining patient satisfaction.
Beginning in 2016 as Access Care Oklahoma, an Accountable Care Organization under the Medicare Shared Savings Program, the Clinically Integrated Network (CIN) grew to include 400+ providers coordinating care for more than 18,000 Medicare beneficiaries. As a CIN, we have evolved to a smaller group of select providers with outstanding commitment to quality and cost-effective care. Our doctors and advanced practitioners have years of experience in successfully managing the care of patients while meeting stringent quality requirements, high levels of patient satisfaction, and managing the cost of care.
- We collect, analyze and share data with practices, providing information about care patients receive outside the practice walls.
- Our practices implemented efficient ways to capture quality measures that both improve outcomes and control costs, while capturing appropriate practice revenue.
- Access Care practices share risk and have achieved exceptional performance bonuses every year under the Quality Payment Program / Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS).
- Advanced software tools assist in accurate coding to demonstrate the complexity of care provided.
In 2022, we moved to the Global and Professional Direct Contracting Program. This program has evolved to become ACO REACH (Realizing Equity, Access and Community Health) in 2023.
As a Clinically Integrated Network, our participants can bring their experience and strength in value-based care to other types of contracts beyond Accountable Care Organizations in 2023. We have the ability to serve members associated with other types of agreements, such as Medicaid, commercial insurance, and direct-to-employer agreements.

Access Care is Nationally Accredited by URAC
In July 2023, Access Care earned URAC Accreditation for Clinical Integration by URAC, the independent leader in promoting healthcare quality and patient safety through renowned accreditation programs. URAC develops its evidence-based standards in collaboration with a wide array of stakeholders and industry experts.
URAC’s comprehensive standards and associated elements of performance are organized into four foundational focus areas across all accreditation and certification programs:
- Risk management
- Operations infrastructure
- Performance monitoring and improvement
- Consumer protection and empowerment
URAC’s streamlined accreditation process requires applicants to submit comprehensive policies, procedures, workflows, and other organizational information. Our reviewers coordinate all aspects of the process until a decision on accreditation has been determined via an impartial, third-party evaluation. URAC’s accreditation process validates compliance with nationally recognized healthcare standards and supports improvements and innovation in care management and service delivery for the long term.
URAC relies on a multidisciplinary advisory group to guide standards development, establish benchmarks and inform revisions. This group includes payers, physicians, hospitals, our Board of Directors, URAC's Standards Committees, and other industry experts. The standards are then circulated for public comment and beta-tested before their release. This broad, inclusive process assures that URAC’s standards promote industry best practices.
