Ohio Senate Committee Hears Surprise Billing Legislation

The Ohio Senate Insurance and Financial Institutions Committee heard for a second time HB 388, which relates to Out-of-Network Health Care.

ERIC Urges States to Establish National Telehealth Licensing Reciprocity for Providers

In an effort to implement a permanent way for all states to admit expedited interstate licensures, ERIC has urged 21 states to take the necessary steps to join the Interstate Medical Licensure Commission Compact. The IMLCC is an agreement among participating states to expedite the pathway to licensure for physicians who qualify. Joining the compact will eliminate barriers to care during this pandemic crisis, a time when families need access to telehealth more than ever before.
