State Legislation
Each year, the Ohio General Assembly considers dozens of new laws that govern the daily practice of DOs. Your association maintains regular contact with the legislature. OOA staff and volunteers testify at committee hearings and discuss concerns through personal contact with legislators. A grassroots network of individual physicians complements ongoing efforts in Columbus.
We are fighting on the front line in battles involving practice regulation, Medicaid reimbursement, BWC compensation, tort reform and HMO/insurance company regulation to name a few. These areas are controlled by the states, not the national governement. Members are encouraged to meet their state representative and senator and express their views on healthcare issues.
