Ohio HB758 amends the state's Revised Code to address sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). It mandates that coroners, deputy coroners, and pathologists investigate and report cases of SUDEP. The bill also allows individuals diagnosed with epilepsy to enroll in the Disability Database and have an epilepsy designation on their driver's license or state ID. Additionally, it requires health benefit plans to cover seizure detection devices for Medicaid recipients. The bill includes provisions for educational training and outreach to health care professionals and patients regarding SUDEP.
