This legislation included a provision requiring an annual report on trends and drivers in spending in the health insurance market.  Subsequent reports have included information on primary care spend as a portion of overall spend.

Provides for Direct Primary care. The LAFP reports,”this legislation provides a framework for health care purchasing that gives family physicians and their patients a meaningful alternative to the conventional fee-for-service (FFS) payment paradigm for primary care services.”

This legislation defines “direct primary care” and grants such providers exemption from state insurance regulations.

The law establishes a Patient-Centered Medical Home Advisory Council, provides powers and duties of the council, and provides for the development of a plan to implement a statewide medical home model.

This bill is to adopt the Nebraska All-Payer Patient-Centered Medical Home Act.

This Executive Order creates the Idaho Healthcare Coalition (IHC). The IHC is charged with building upon the work of the previously established Idaho Medical Home Collaborative (Executive Order No. 2010-10) to facilitate and support the transformation of primary care practices to the PCMH model, develop regional collaboratives to support practices in transformation, and integrate PCMHs with the medical neighborhood that includes hospitals, behavioral health and other community support services.
