The proposed settlement, which needs to be approved by a US court, would void OhioHealth’s existing contract provisions that prohibit or deter insurers from offering innovative and budget-conscious health-insurance plans or plan features. It would also prevent OhioHealth from seeking or obtaining such contract provisions in the future and prevent OhioHealth from penalizing or threatening to penalize health insurers from offering innovative and budget-conscious health-insurance plans or plan features, the DOJ said in a statement. The consent judgment would make health care more affordable for Ohio consumers and employers, the DOJ's Antitrust Division said.Statement follows. See attached document...
