No Surprises Act

This legislation provides rules and processes to protect health plan members from balance billing that may arise from non-network provider utilization that is out of the member’s control. An example could be, an individual having surgery at an in-network facility, by an in-network physician, but the anesthesiologist, which they have no control over, is out of network.

No Surprise Act Model Notice.


Publicly Available Cost Information/Transparency In Coverage

This legislation requires health insurers and group health plans to make available negotiated rates for in-network providers and allowed amounts for out-of-network providers, derived from historical claims.

The machine-readable files are formatted to allow researchers, regulators, and application developers to more easily access and analyze data.

Wellness Policy

Good nutrition and regular physical activity affect the health and well-being of children. Furthermore, research suggests that there is a positive correlation between a student’s health and well-being and his/her ability to learn. Schools can play an important role in the developmental process by which students establish their health and nutrition habits by providing nutritious meals and snacks through the schools’ meal programs, by supporting the development of good eating habits, and by promoting increased physical activity both in and out of school.

Hamilton County ESC has set goals in an effort to enable students to establish good health and nutrition habits. Read our HCESC Wellness Policy.
