RELATING TO PRIMARY CARE.

Summary

The bill forces health carriers to allocate at least 6% of their total medical spending to primary‑care providers, rising to 12% by 2029, and to pay those providers directly. It also bars insurers from downcoding claims, mandates rural primary‑care access, and sets up reporting and oversight. The goal is to stabilize Hawaii’s primary‑care workforce and lower overall health costs.
