§ 2711.21.
(A) Upon the filing of any medical, dental, optometric, or chiropractic claim as defined
in section 2305.113 of the Revised Code , if all of the parties to the medical, dental, optometric, or chiropractic claim
agree to submit it to nonbinding arbitration, the controversy shall be submitted to
an arbitration board consisting of three arbitrators to be named by the court. The arbitration board shall consist of one person designated by the plaintiff or
plaintiffs, one person designated by the defendant or defendants, and a person designated
by the court. The person designated by the court shall serve as the chairperson of the board. Each member of the board shall receive a reasonable compensation based on the extent
and duration of actual service rendered, and shall be paid in equal proportions by
the parties in interest. In a claim accompanied by a poverty affidavit, the cost of the arbitration shall
be borne by the court. (B) The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in accordance with sections 2711.06 to 2711.16 of the Revised Code insofar as they are applicable. Such proceedings shall be conducted in the county in which the trial is to be held. (C) If the decision of the arbitration board is not accepted by all parties to the medical,
dental, optometric, or chiropractic claim, the claim shall proceed as if it had not
been submitted to nonbinding arbitration pursuant to this section. The decision of the arbitration board and any dissenting opinion written by any
board member are not admissible into evidence at the trial. (D) Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the right of any person to enter
into an agreement to submit a controversy underlying a medical, dental, optometric,
or chiropractic claim to binding arbitration.
