Parental Approval Mandate for Diagnosing Gender-Related Conditions in Minors under Ohio House Bill 68
September 4, 2024
Ohio House Bill 68, effective August 6, 2024, introduces strict guidelines for mental health professionals diagnosing and treating minors with gender-related conditions. The law mandates parental or guardian consent before any diagnosis or treatment can proceed. Additionally, professionals must first screen for other comorbidities and assess for any history of abuse. Failure to adhere to these requirements can result in disciplinary action for unprofessional conduct.

HHS Announces an Additional $20 Billion In Provider Relief Grants
October 5, 2020
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) announced an additional $20 billion in new funding for providers on October 1, 2020. Eligible providers include those that have already received Provider Relief Fund payments as well as previously ineligible providers, such as those who began practicing in 2020, and an expanded group of behavioral health providers confronting the emergence of increased mental health and substance use issues exacerbated by the pandemic. The new Phase 3 General Distribution is designed to balance an equitable payment of 2% of annual revenue from patient care for all applicants plus an add-on payment to account for revenue losses and expenses attributable to COVID-19.
