GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF NORTH CAROLINA
SESSION 2019
SESSION LAW 2020-85
HOUSE BILL 471
AN ACT exempting medical direct primary care from regulation by the department of insurance.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1. Article 3 of Chapter 58 of the General Statutes is amended by adding a new section to read:
§ 58‑3‑8. Medical direct primary care agreements not subject to this Chapter.
(a) Definitions. – The following definitions apply in this section:
(1) Medical direct primary care agreement. – A contract between a primary care provider and an individual patient, a family, or an individual patient's legal representative in which the primary care provider agrees to provide primary care services to the individual patient or family for a specified fee and a specified period of time. Under a medical direct primary care agreement, a direct primary care provider charges a specified periodic fee for health care services and does not bill any third parties on a fee‑for‑service basis.
(2) Primary care provider. – An individual or other legal entity that is licensed, registered, or otherwise authorized to provide primary health care services in this State under Chapter 90 of the General Statutes. This includes an individual or other legal entity alone or with others professionally associated with the individual or other legal entity.
(3) Primary care service. – Includes, but is not limited to, the screening, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of a patient for the promotion of health or the detection and management of disease or injury within the scope of practice of the primary care provider.
(b) A medical direct primary care agreement is not insurance and is not subject to the provisions of this Chapter. Entering into a medical direct primary care agreement is not the business of insurance and is not subject to the provisions of this Chapter.
(c) Primary care providers and their agents shall not be required to be licensed or certified under this Chapter to market, sell, or offer to sell direct primary care agreements.
(d) A medical direct primary care agreement under this section must do all of the following:
(1) Be in writing.
(2) Be signed by the primary care provider, or the provider's agent, and the individual patient, an adult member of the family, or the individual patient's legal representative.
(3) Allow either party to terminate the agreement with written notice to the other party.
(4) Specify the periodic fee for the agreement.
(5) Specify the primary care services that are included in the agreement and covered by the specified periodic fee.
(6) Specify the duration of the agreement and any automatic renewal periods.
(7) Prominently state in writing that the agreement is not health insurance.
SECTION 2. This act is effective when it becomes law.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 26th day of June, 2020.
