Bill Summary
Relative to direct primary care.
AI Summary
This bill allows for the establishment of direct primary care agreements between primary care providers and patients, where the provider offers a set of primary care services in exchange for a periodic fee. These agreements are not considered insurance and are exempt from certain insurance regulations. The bill also excludes direct primary care providers from the definition of "discount medical plan organizations" and "managed care" under existing laws. The key provisions of the bill are to provide a legal framework for direct primary care arrangements and to clarify their regulatory status.
