Legislative Advocacy
The OSMA Government Relations Group relentlessly advocates for physicians, saving you time and promoting the profession. We are dedicated to ensuring quality health care for all Ohioans and work to inform patients and the public of critical issues impacting health care.

1. Ohio's State Budget
2. Medicaid
3. Removing Barriers to Mental Health & Drug Addiction Treatment
4. Deregulation of the Practice of Medicine
5. Scope of Practice
6. Telehealth
7. Mandated Health Benefits
8. Out-of-Network Billing & Price Transparency
