Prohibit Medicaid funds for certain abortion providers

HB 410 prohibits Medicaid from paying for abortion services provided by specific abortion clinics or providers. This bill directly affects low-income Medicaid recipients who seek abortions at those designated facilities and the providers who would lose Medicaid reimbursement for such services. The key provision, added as section 5162.09 of the Revised Code, bans Medicaid funds from being paid to providers meeting certain criteria. As a result, abortions performed at these providers would no longer be covered by Medicaid, requiring patients to pay the full cost out-of-pocket or seek care elsewhere.
