Does Ohio law require health benefit plans to provide coverage for alcohol use disorders?
In some cases. Individual sickness and accident insurance policies do not have to include coverage for alcohol use disorders. Group sickness and accident policies do have to provide a minimum benefit of $550. Self-funded employer plans not subject to ERISA must also provide a $550 benefit. Insurance coverage sold to groups with more than 50 employees must provide alcohol use disorder benefits that are in parity with medical benefits.
