BACKGROUND: Health care costs keep climbing, and too many Ohio families pay their premiums every month only to open a denial letter when they get hurt or sick and need care most. The medical claim denial process is confusing, time-consuming, and like trying to see inside a black box. Most patients never think to appeal a denial, even though Ohio law already gives them the right to an internal appeal and an independent external review. Furthermore, appeals frequently succeed. But what happens most often is that families give up, pay out of pocket, or go without the treatment they’ve already paid for through their premiums. That’s an affordability and fairness problem the Attorney General can do something about.
