The Department of Justice and the Ohio Attorney General’s office filed suit against OhioHealth, a 16-hospital nonprofit health system, claiming that OhioHealth’s use of all-or-nothing terms (requiring insurers to include all of its providers in their networks) inflates costs for policyholders and disadvantages competitors. The suit also claimed that OhioHealth contracts included terms requiring OhioHealth to be at the most-favored level of benefits in each network, and that payers were prevented from providing patients with price information about healthcare services. The complaint alleges violations of both the federal Sherman Act and Ohio’s Valentine Act, both of which prohibit anticompetitive conduct.
