Did you know that Insure Oklahoma (IO) is closed every Thursday from 8 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.?

We use that time to address your concerns and discuss ways to make the IO program – and our service to you – the best possible. So, we’re working for you … but our Helpline is not answered during this time.

However, we’re happy to assist our agents, employers and members during regular hours (excluding holidays):

Monday - 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
Tuesday - 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
Wednesday - 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
Thursday - 10:30 a.m.-5 p.m.
Friday - 8 a.m.-5 p.m.

As a reminder, IO offices will be closed February 18 for Presidents’ Day (state holiday).
