Prohibit common ownership of certain health care entities

Summary

The bill makes it illegal for any person to own both a health‑plan issuer or pharmacy‑benefit manager and a health‑care provider or management services organization, and also to own both a wholesale distributor of dangerous drugs or medical devices and a provider or MSO. The rule applies only to activities that serve Ohio residents; owners serving only out‑of‑state customers are exempt. Violators must divest or stop Ohio services within set deadlines and may face civil penalties, including disgorgement of profits.
