SB 162: Regards timing of health insurer recoupment from providers

Ohio · Senate · 136th General Assembly (2025–2026) · last verified October 1, 2026

What SB 162 does, verified October 1, 2026

<p>The bill amends Ohio Revised Code section 3901.388 to reduce the timeframe for health insurers to recoup overpayments from healthcare providers from two years to one year after payment is made. It also mandates that third-party payers provide written notice of any overpayment determination, specifying details such as beneficiary information, service dates, and claim numbers. Providers have 60 days to appeal this determination without being charged a fee. If the provider does not respond or if the appeal is denied, the insurer can recover the overpayment by deducting it from future payments owed to the provider.</p>
