Ep. 38 Enhancing Access to Justice Through Online Dispute Resolution
Medical debt is an unwelcome burden with lasting repercussions for many Tennesseans each year. The Hamilton County General Sessions Court is at the forefront of a pilot program that began in 2021 that gives those with unpaid medical bills to Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga the opportunity to negotiate a better outcome for themselves without ever having to enter a courtroom.
On this episode of Tennessee Court Talk, host Samantha Fisher sits down with AOC Program Manager Dana Schmidt, Erlanger Hospital Associate General Counsel of the revenue cycle and the judicial sponsor of this program, Judge Alex McVeagh discuss the path that the ODR program has been on since 2021 and what lies ahead for the ODR program moving forward.
This podcast was recorded over Zoom and is intended for all audiences.
Produced by Nick Morgan, Tennessee Administrative Office of the Courts
