Summary

The bill establishes a primary‑care payment reform program that pays doctors a monthly amount for each patient, funded by insurers and public programs, and removes patient co‑pays for routine care. Participation is voluntary at first but becomes mandatory for all primary‑care practices beginning in 2028. It also adds reporting requirements and eliminates the sunset provision for a primary‑care physician scholarship program.
