Since 1990, The Hawley Group, Inc. has helped Oklahoma City families, individuals, and employers sort through health insurance options and choose coverage that actually fits their budget and their health needs. As a licensed benefits advisor working directly with Oklahoma County residents and businesses, we compare plans across the major carriers so you don’t have to guess your way through open enrollment or a mid-year life change.

- Established in 1990, one of Oklahoma’s longer-standing employee benefits and health insurance consulting firms, serving both the Oklahoma City metro and Tulsa.
- Dedicated broker support for OKC clients, not a call center routed out of state.
- Access to major carriers including Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oklahoma, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Principal, and Delta Dental.
- Coverage guidance for individuals, families, and employer groups: medical, dental, vision, life, short-term and long-term disability, HSAs, Medicare supplements, and travel medical.
- Relationship-focused service built to help Oklahoma City households and businesses get more value from every benefit dollar, not just the lowest sticker price.
Health Insurance Options We Help Oklahoma City Clients Compare
- Individual and Family Coverage: Whether you’re new to the metro, between jobs, self-employed, or your employer doesn’t offer a plan, we walk you through marketplace and off-marketplace individual and family health insurance options, explain subsidy eligibility, and help you avoid picking a plan based on premium alone that leaves you exposed on a high deductible.
- Employer Group Health Plans: For Oklahoma City business owners, we build group medical plans designed around your actual headcount and budget, then layer in dental, vision, life, and short- or long-term disability where it makes sense. We also help HR teams and owners manage renewals so a plan doesn’t quietly become overpriced year after year.
- Medicare Supplements: As more of the metro’s population ages into Medicare, especially in communities like Edmond, Moore, and Norman, we help retirees compare Medicare supplement plans against their actual prescriptions and preferred OKC-area providers, rather than a generic national comparison chart.
- HSAs and Travel Medical Coverage: We also set clients up with health savings accounts paired to qualifying high-deductible plans, and arrange travel medical coverage for Oklahoma City residents and employees who travel frequently for work, including staff tied to the aerospace and energy sectors.
What Makes Choosing Health Coverage
in Oklahoma City Different
Oklahoma City’s economy is unusually mixed for a metro its size: energy companies downtown, Tinker Air Force Base and its civilian contractor workforce on the south side, a fast-growing healthcare sector anchored by OU Health, INTEGRIS, and Mercy, plus a wave of small businesses opening in districts like Automobile Alley, the Plaza District, and Midtown. That mix means the “right” health plan for an aerospace contractor in Del City, a startup founder in Bricktown, and a self-employed contractor in Edmond can look completely different, even though they’re all shopping in the same Oklahoma County market.
Employer size also matters more here than people expect. A lot of Oklahoma City’s job growth is happening at companies with 5 to 50 employees, businesses that are often too small to get quoted competitively by a national broker but too large to rely on the individual ACA marketplace alone. We spend a lot of our time in that exact gap, helping OKC small business owners set up group coverage that’s actually priced for a company their size, working within Oklahoma Insurance Department rules for small-group markets.
A Broker That Answers the Phone After You've Enrolled
A lot of Oklahoma City residents’ experience with health insurance is limited to a single conversation during open enrollment, then silence until a bill or a denied claim shows up. We stay engaged after enrollment: helping with claims questions, mid-year life events like a new baby or a job change, and annual renewals, so your coverage keeps making sense as your situation changes.

Contact UsHow We Help You Choose a Plan
Choosing health coverage starts with a conversation, not a quote form. We first look at your current providers, prescriptions, and budget, then compare plan options from carriers like Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oklahoma, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and others against what you actually need, not just the lowest advertised premium.
- Consultation: We learn your health history, budget, and coverage priorities.
- Comparison: We shop your situation across major carriers available to Oklahoma City individuals or groups.
- Recommendation: We explain trade-offs in plain language, deductibles, networks, and prescription formularies included.
- Enrollment: We handle the enrollment paperwork and stay available for questions after you’re covered.
- Renewal support: Each year, we review your plan again rather than letting it auto-renew into a worse deal.
Common Questions From Oklahoma City Clients
Does it cost more to use a health insurance broker in Oklahoma City?
No, using a licensed broker like The Hawley Group typically costs the same as buying directly from a carrier, since carrier commissions are already built into the premium either way. What changes is that you get a local advisor comparing options for you instead of navigating carrier websites alone.
What health insurance carriers are available to Oklahoma City residents?
Oklahoma City individuals and employers generally have access to carriers such as Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oklahoma, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Principal, among others, depending on whether you’re shopping the individual marketplace or an employer group plan. We help you compare the specific plans each carrier actually offers in Oklahoma County.
When can I enroll in an individual health plan in Oklahoma City?
Most Oklahoma City residents can enroll in an individual marketplace plan during the annual open enrollment period, though a qualifying life event such as losing job coverage, marriage, or having a baby opens a special enrollment window at other times of the year. We can tell you quickly whether your situation qualifies.
How many employees do I need to get a small business group health plan in OKC?
Oklahoma’s small-group market generally allows employers with as few as one to a small number of eligible employees to qualify for group coverage, though minimum participation rules vary by carrier. We check eligibility against your specific headcount before you spend time on quotes.
Do you help with Medicare supplement plans in Oklahoma City?
Yes, we help Oklahoma City-area retirees compare Medicare supplement plans against their current prescriptions, preferred doctors, and local hospital networks like OU Health, INTEGRIS, and Mercy, rather than relying on a generic national comparison.
