Ohio Preferred Provider Network

Ohio Preferred Provider Network (OPPN) is a prominent independent Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) serving the state of Ohio and surrounding regions. Established in 1982, the company manages a vast network of healthcare providers, including thousands of physicians and over 100 hospitals, to offer discounted medical services to payers. Its primary clients include insurance companies, third-party administrators, and self-funded employers seeking to manage healthcare costs. In 2011, OPPN was acquired by HealthSmart, integrating its regional expertise into a national managed care platform. The network remains a significant component of healthcare delivery in Ohio, focusing on accessibility and cost-containment.
