The Ohio Network is being developed to enable hospitals and other healthcare providers to electronically exchange claims and related information directly with insurance companies and other payers. It also allows providers to access multiple payers from a single log-in screen.
Healthcare Transaction Processors (HTP) plans to work with public and private organizations to bring the Ohio Network on line. Ohio Medicaid, Anthem, United Healthcare, Nationwide, Aetna, Cigna and Medical Mutual are currently connected on the network, but the company hopes to connect all insurers and third party administrators based in Ohio by the end of the year.
