Oklahoma Foundation for Medical Quality is a mission-driven organization, dedicated to improving healthcare and improving lives. As the Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) for the state, contracted through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), we work with health care providers to ensure that Oklahoma's Medicare beneficiaries receive the best possible care.

If you are one of the half-a-million Medicare beneficiaries in Oklahoma, or someone who cares for a patient, we urge you to be involved in your health care. We encourage you to seek preventive services -- many are paid for by Medicare -- to help you stay healthy and prevent life-threatening illness.

You should also be aware of your patient rights and options, because informed consumers make better choices about their health care.

Our Services

Review Services - OFMQ can help you if you or a loved one has Medicare and you:

Healthcare Quality Improvement - OFMQ works directly with healthcare providers to improve safety and quality of services provided to Oklahoma's Medicare beneficiaries.
