Bright Health's model features proprietary Care Partner Networks developed specifically for Oklahoma residents based on several criteria, including comprehensive care across specialties, geographic reach, quality of care and operational efficiency. Working in close collaboration with doctors in their Care Partner Network, Bright Health is able to engage proactively with members, including those with high-risk or chronic conditions, to improve health outcomes and reduce costs through coordinated in-network care. For Bright Health members, this translates into a more personalized and affordable patient experience, including:

Bright Health pricing on individual and family plans is competitive and includes some of the lowest Silver Plan premiums in the state. For consumers who qualify for federal subsidies, many plans are available at little to no premium cost to the individual.5

"INTEGRIS has distinguished itself as a trusted provider network that delivers superior, personalized care to their patients, and we look forward to working hand-in-hand with their physicians, as well as those with OU and Norman Regional, to provide a better health care experience for the people of Oklahoma."

Through Bright Health's agreement with INTEGRIS and other network providers, members will have access to over 650 primary care practitioners, 1,750 specialists and 8 hospitals, including INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center (which offers such leading-edge medical services as transplant, advanced heart failure modalities, critical burn care and proton therapy), OU Medical Center and Norman Regional Hospital.
