Oklahoma Pain Contract Archive · Public evidence campaign
Send the contract. Expose the system.
Pain-management offices across Oklahoma use written agreements as conditions of care. Seeds of Vice is collecting the contracts themselves so the public record can show who wrote the terms, what patients must accept, what offices demand, and what happens when someone refuses.
Oklahoma first: This campaign is initially collecting agreements used by Oklahoma pain-management practices, health systems, and public facilities. Submit the complete form, not a summary. Do not send medical records or an unredacted document.

We cannot challenge a contract the public has never seen.
The State requires patient-provider agreements in defined opioid-treatment circumstances, but private offices may draft the operative language. One contract may contain legitimate safety expectations. Another may add purchasing requirements, broad waivers, automatic termination, surveillance, outside-provider restrictions, or terms the State never wrote or approved. The fastest way to learn what is actually happening is to collect the documents patients are being asked to sign.
Find the recurring terms.
Separate statutory language from clinic additions and identify which provisions appear across unrelated offices.
Name the responsible institution.
Determine whether each requirement comes from Oklahoma law, OBNDD, a licensing board, a health system, an insurer, or the clinic itself.
Document the consequence of refusal.
Record whether refusal blocks admission, prescriptions, refills, surgery continuity, transfer, or all treatment.
Build evidence fit for counsel and lawmakers.
Use verified documents to support narrow legal claims, administrative requests, legislative reform, and a national replication method.
Redact before sending
Keep the contract. Remove the patient.
Seeds of Vice needs the institutional language, not anyone’s private medical identity. Make a copy and permanently remove personal information before attaching it. Never alter your original.
Remove all of this
- Patient, caregiver, witness, or family names
- Birth dates, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses
- Signatures, initials, handwritten notes, and individualized dates
- Medical-record, account, insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid numbers
- Diagnoses, medications, test results, appointment details, and payment information
- Barcodes, QR codes, portal identifiers, and document metadata that identifies you
Keep all of this
- Clinic, hospital, health-system, or practice name
- The complete printed agreement and every referenced policy
- Form title, general revision date, and general effective date
- Refill, testing, monitoring, pharmacy, purchasing, termination, and transfer terms
- Liability waivers, appeal language, and consequences of refusal
- Any statute, agency, insurer, or professional rule the form cites
Digital highlighting may be reversible. A safer method is to work from a copy, cover every identifier permanently, then create a new scan or photograph of that redacted copy. Review every page before sending. If you are uncertain, do not attach the document.
How to submit
Five steps. One usable public record.
Copy the entire agreement.
Include every page, signature instruction, attachment, addendum, incorporated policy, and form title. Do not submit selected passages alone.
Redact the copy.
Remove every patient identifier, medical detail, signature, account number, and hidden identifier. Preserve the institution’s name and the printed contract language.
Save it as a readable file.
PDF is preferred. Clear photographs are acceptable when every page is square, legible, in order, and free of glare.
Use the prepared email.
Attach the redacted document and answer the short verification questions already placed in the email. A long personal narrative is not required.
Keep your original and sent copy.
Preserve the document exactly as received, the redacted version sent, the delivery date, and any written statement explaining whether signing was required.
Submit to the archive
Attach your redacted Oklahoma pain contract.
The button opens your email application with the required verification questions prepared. Attach the redacted agreement before sending. Standard email is not guaranteed secure, so never use this route for an unredacted document, medical record, identification document, or confidential legal communication.
vice@seedsofvice.comSubmission terms: By sending a document, you represent that you lawfully possess the copy and have removed personal identifiers. You permit Seeds of Vice to store and analyze the agreement and to publish the form, its terms, and de-identified excerpts for public-interest research. Your sender email will be visible to Seeds of Vice. Seeds of Vice will not publicly identify you from the submission without separate permission, but it cannot promise legal privilege, perfect confidentiality, or that ordinary email is secure. Submissions containing apparent personal or medical information may be declined or deleted without analysis.
What the archive will publish
Numbers only after the documents are verified.
Complete, readable agreements accepted into the research file.
Distinct clinics, systems, and public facilities represented.
Recurring safety, purchasing, waiver, monitoring, and termination terms.
Requirements attributed to law, agencies, payers, systems, or private choice.
No total will be announced until duplicates, incomplete files, and unverifiable submissions have been separated. Silence, refusal, and missing records will be described accurately, not converted into invented conclusions.
Questions before submitting
What this campaign is and is not.
Will my name appear?
No patient identity will be published from a submission without separate permission. Your email address is visible to Seeds of Vice, so this is not an anonymous submission channel.
Should I send my medical records?
No. Do not send charts, diagnoses, prescriptions, laboratory results, identification, insurance records, billing records, or legal correspondence. This campaign is collecting institutional contracts and incorporated policies.
Can I submit a contract from outside Oklahoma?
The active collection is Oklahoma first. Out-of-state agreements may be acknowledged for later work, but they will not be counted in the Oklahoma archive.
Will submitting a contract obtain treatment or legal representation?
No. Submission does not create an attorney-client, doctor-patient, confidential-source, or advocacy-client relationship. Seeds of Vice cannot direct medical care or promise a legal result.
What if the clinic told me I cannot share the form?
Do not violate a court order, protective order, settlement term, or lawful confidentiality obligation. If you are uncertain about your right to share a copy, obtain legal advice before submitting it.
