Bill > HB4107

This bill requires urgent care centers to make certain information publicly available, including their legal name, address, affiliated health facilities or systems, hours of operation, accepted payment types, services offered (including X-ray and lab availability), limitations on services, types of licensed health care providers available, whether they operate on a walk-in or appointment basis, diagnostic capabilities, and any telemedicine services. A licensed health care provider is defined as a physician, physician associate, or nurse practitioner. The bill also mandates that urgent care centers offer specific services such as tests for common respiratory diseases, electrocardiograms (ECGs), splints for strains, sprains, and fractures, and sutures for simple lacerations, and generally must have at least one licensed health care provider on-site during operating hours, with exceptions for temporary unavailability due to illness or emergency if telemedicine is used and the patient is notified. Furthermore, urgent care centers are prohibited from presenting themselves as emergency departments and must provide patient records to emergency departments when making a referral. The bill also defines "urgent care center" as a facility using the terms "urgent" or "urgent care" that provides walk-in, episodic medical care for acute but not life-threatening illnesses or injuries, and excludes "specialty urgent care centers" which focus on specific body systems or behavioral health.
