AN ACT RELATING TO BUSINESSES AND PROFESSIONS -- THE PRIMARY CARE PRESERVATION ACT

Summary

HB 7427 bars health‑insurance payors from including contract clauses that stop doctors from billing patients reasonable administrative or operational fees for non‑clinical services. The law applies to all physician practices in Rhode Island and lets them collect disclosed fees directly from patients, while insurers cannot penalize them, though they also aren’t required to reimburse those fees. It aims to protect practice revenue and maintain patient access to care.
