Ohio SB166 prohibits health insurance and Medicaid electronic claim fees.

Ohio SB166 amends the state's Revised Code to prohibit the Department of Medicaid and third-party payers from imposing any charge, fee, or other payment requirement on health care providers for electronic claims submission or electronic fund transfers. The bill also mandates that Medicaid claims must be submitted electronically, with exceptions for certain providers like nursing facilities and ICF/IIDs. This change aims to reduce financial burdens on providers while promoting the use of electronic claims processes.
