Ohio Bills

This bill requires health insurance plans to cover augmentative and alternative communication tools for individuals aged 22 and younger when prescribed by qualified healthcare providers. The legislation defines these tools broadly to include speech-generating devices, communication software, tablets, and related accessories necessary for individuals with expressive communication disabilities. Coverage includes the full cost of standard devices up to $6,000, with an additional $14,000 allowance for enhanced tools when a speech-language pathologist documents that standard options are insufficient. The bill also mandates coverage for device replacement every five years or sooner if needed due to physical changes, repair needs, or communication requirements, along with related services like training and temporary loaner devices.

This bill allows physicians whose medical licenses were revoked to apply for reinstatement after meeting specific requirements. It creates a formal process where doctors must submit an application with a fee, demonstrate community service or professional volunteer work, complete continuing education, and pass a skills evaluation. The law also sets eligibility criteria based on the original reason for revocation, such as requiring treatment for mental or physical illness in certain cases, and mandates that reinstated physicians serve a one-year probation period with additional conditions as determined by the state medical board.
