Ohio HB795, known as the SHIELD Act, mandates the Ohio Department of Medicaid to implement electronic verification systems for nonemergency medical.

The Ohio SHIELD Act requires the Department of Medicaid to establish electronic verification systems for nonemergency medical transportation and in-home personal care services. These systems will track location data and timestamps to ensure compliance and prevent fraud. Providers must use these systems to submit claims, with exemptions allowed for equipment failure or network unavailability. The Department must report annually on the systems' effectiveness, including the number of claims processed and instances of fraud detected.
