OAR is carefully monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and will update the OAR website registration page to reflect any changes. Please register and save the date on your calendar to attend this scheduled event.

The OAR Advocacy Day is scheduled for Thursday, May 21, 2020. Registration is now open.

OAR’s priority legislation is progressing through the legislative process, however more work needs to be done! In order to pass these reforms, OAR members are urged to partake in our advocacy activities in the coming months.

Right now, in Ohio, health plans and PBMs are free to increase patient co-pays and out-of-pocket costs and remove medications from formularies – even during the course of a plan year!

Ohioans with chronic and complex diseases require patient-centered, individualized therapy rather than a one-size-fits-all approach for treatment. Please register and save the date to join us in advocating for patient access on May 21, 2020 in Columbus.
