Ohio Association of Health Plans

What Ohio Association of Health Plans does

Ohio Association of Health Plans (OAHP) is a state-level non-profit trade association headquartered in Columbus, Ohio that serves as the collective voice for health insurance plans operating in the state. Its core membership comprises health insurance companies and managed care organizations (including major carriers such as AmeriHealth Caritas, Buckeye Health Plan, and Oscar Health, whose executives sit on OAHP's Board of Directors). The association is led by President and CEO Kelly O'Reilly, with board leadership from Chair Mark Grippi (AmeriHealth Caritas) and Vice Chair Justin Loudon (Buckeye Health Plan). OAHP's primary functional offerings are not commercial products but rather advocacy, regulatory representation, and member collaboration services.

OAHP's deliverables consist of policy advocacy at the Ohio Statehouse, regulatory guidance on healthcare compliance (notably commentary on the Next Generation MyCare Medicaid rollout), member networking, research, and educational white papers — including the Health Care Costs 101 series and comparative analyses of managed care versus Administrative Services Organization (ASO) models. It also administers the Pinnacle Awards recognition program and runs a knowledge base containing healthcare facts and a glossary. In June 2026, OAHP expanded into adjacent verticals by partnering with the Ohio Department of Aging to launch Ohio Aging Compass, a free online platform serving older adults, families, and caregivers.

The business model is a community-led, subscription-recurring model funded by membership dues from Ohio health plans. OAHP does not publicly disclose pricing or revenue. Distribution is conducted through direct membership engagement, a member-only dashboard, events, sponsorship opportunities, and content marketing across LinkedIn, Instagram, X, Facebook, email newsletters, and a blog. The organization operates 11-50 employees with no disclosed funding rounds, subsidiaries, or parent company, functioning as an independent membership-driven association focused exclusively on Ohio.
