On February 7, 2020 the 6th District Court of Appeals of Ohio ruled in favor of the OSMA, Ohio Hospital Association (OHA) and other health care organizations in its lawsuit seeking to prevent implementation of a price transparency law enacted in 2016.
The OSMA advocated for significant changes to the Ohio Medicaid Managed Care Progra—and we were heard. Using our initial feedback, the Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) is proposing some sweeping changes to simplify physician and patient interaction with the system and again is asking for our feedback on the proposal.
With one simple, healthcare-centric payment gateway, hospitals & clinics can now give their patients the flexibility to manage their financial obligation anytime, anywhere. 90 percent of our clients reported an increase in cash flow from patients utilizing the Best Card payment platform.

As Ohio continues to address the opioid abuse epidemic, the Smart Rx® online learning experience is designed for the busy physician and keeps prescribers in-step and up-to-date. The training modules are on-demand, FREE to OSMA members, and readily accessible to prescribers from our partnering health systems.
