Insure Oklahoma, formerly known as the Oklahoma Employer/Employee Partnership for Insurance Coverage (O-EPIC), is the first program of its kind in the nation to assist small business owners, employees and their spouses with health insurance premiums.
Insure Oklahoma will pay part of the health plan premiums for eligible employees working for qualified Oklahoma small businesses (with 50 or fewer employees). Participation in this program is voluntary.

To participate in the Insure Oklahoma program for small employers, a business must meet the following eligibility criteria:

- The business must have 99 or fewer full-time and part-time employees (effective March 1, 2009).
- The small employer must contribute at minimum 25% of eligible employees' premium costs.

The Insure Oklahoma Individual Plan is available to Oklahomans not otherwise eligible to participate in an Insure Oklahoma employer-sponsored Qualified Health Plan. Eligibility details are available on the Insure Oklahoma website.
