About Us

OAFP members are physicians who specialize in family medicine, residents in family medicine training programs, and medical students interested in the specialty.

With more than 1,200 members, the OAFP is the largest medical specialty organization in Oklahoma.

The OAFP is a state chapter of the
American Academy of Family Physicians(AAFP) which represents over 94,000 physicians, residents and medical students in the United States.
 

Patient Information

The specialty of family medicine is centered on lasting, caring relationships with patients and their families. Family physicians really know their patients, they listen to them and take time with them, and help them make the right health care decisions. Family physicians are highly trained in the most up-to-date treatments and technologies. But family physicians know that patients want more than a medical diagnosis--they want the comprehensive, personalized care that a family physician offers.

The mission of the OAFP is to promote excellence in health care and improve the health of the people of Oklahoma by supporting and educating family physicians and by advocating for the patients they serve.

Health Plan Complaints

The AAFP has teamed up with the American Medical Association to gather and catalog complaints about health care plans and other insurers.

Through the use of an online
Health Plan Complaint Form (HPCF), physicians and their staff members can report administrative and payment disputes with health insurers and third party payers. Access this form by clicking on the link above.

Criteria for Immunizations Required for Day Care

The OSDH Immunization Regulations, effective June 25, 2007, now requires that each child two months of age or older shall present certification that he or she has received or is receiving the immunizations as specified below before he or she is admitted to, and while enrolled in, a day care center or day care home.

Added to the requirements is the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV). 51% of children at 5 years of age have been in group child care. At group child care, even healthy children are more at risk of pneumococcal disease. For a complete list of required vaccines and doses, view the
Childhood & Adolescent Immunization Schedule.
