Insurance Advocacy Town Hall

Join OCA's Ohio Association for Counselors in Private Practice (OACPP) and Insurance Advocacy Committee (IAC) for a special Town Hall on Insurance Advocacy on November 21, 2025 from 12-1pm EST, where we’ll explore how mental health professionals can unite to strengthen our collective voice and impact in Ohio’s evolving insurance landscape.

This session will feature a presentation from an attorney who will guide us through the legal and strategic aspects of forming trade associations and clinically integrated networks (CINs) — two collaborative models that can help providers advocate more effectively, negotiate with insurers, and protect professional autonomy while staying compliant with legal and antitrust regulations.

We’ll discuss:

• The current challenges in provider–insurance relationships

• How trade associations and CINs function

• Opportunities for collaboration and collective negotiation

• Next steps for building sustainable advocacy efforts in Ohio

This town hall is an opportunity to learn, connect, and take part in shaping the future of insurance advocacy for counselors and mental health professionals across the state.
