Bill Summary
RELATING TO THE IDAHO DIRECT PRIMARY CARE ACT; AMENDING SECTION 39-9203, IDAHO CODE, TO REVISE A DEFINITION; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY AND PRO- VIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Idaho Direct Primary Care Act to expand the definition of a "primary care provider" to include individuals licensed to practice physical therapy, alongside existing categories like pediatrics, family medicine, internal medicine, and dentistry. This change, effective July 1, 2026, means that physical therapists can now enter into direct primary care agreements, which are written contracts where a provider agrees to offer direct primary care services for a set fee, allowing for more accessible and potentially cost-effective healthcare options by including physical therapy as a primary care service.
