AI Summary

This bill clarifies that a direct primary care agreement, which is a contract between a primary care provider and a patient or employer for a set of medical services for a recurring fee, is not considered insurance and therefore is not subject to the Florida Insurance Code. It defines key terms like "direct primary care agreement," "primary care provider" (including licensed physicians and certain other healthcare professionals), and "primary care service." The bill outlines specific criteria that these agreements must meet to be recognized as such, including being in writing, signed by both parties, allowing for termination with notice, clearly describing covered services and fees, and including prominent disclaimers stating that the agreement is not health insurance and does not satisfy federal healthcare coverage requirements.
