Protecting Consumers

Ohio’s health plans help Ohioans access the care they need, particularly in unexpected situations like stays in the hospital, accidents and surgeries. To do this, health plans must ensure that every dollar spent on health care is a dollar well spent.

  • Ohio’s health plans pay almost $12 billion each year for medical care
  • 97 percent of the more than 38 million claims filed in one year were processed within 30 days
  • Every $2 million spent in fighting health care fraud returns a value of $17.3 million
