Today, ERIC advocated against legislation introduced by the Ohio State Senate’s Committee on Insurance and Financial Institutions. ERIC’s testimony focused on S.B. 198, legislation that would end surprise billing in fully-insured plans in the state, using an arbitration mechanism and focused on provider’s billed charges.

ERIC submitted written testimony in Ohio to the House Finance Committee on HB 388. ERIC’s testimony praised the bill for creating “a reasonable, market-based benchmark in surprise billing situations, taking the patient out of the middle, and providing certainty to plans, plan sponsors, patients, and providers.”
