Ohio HB390 prohibits health plans from requiring providers to collect copays from patients.

Ohio HB390 amends the state's Revised Code to prohibit health plans from requiring providers to collect cost-sharing amounts, including copayments and deductibles, from covered persons. Effective January 1, 2027, health plan issuers must make all reimbursements for covered services directly to the health care provider. The bill allows providers to collect amounts owed for uncovered services and accept cash payments from covered persons instead of reimbursement under a health benefit plan.
