H 754 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session (2026)

IDAHO DIRECT PRIMARY CARE ACT – Amends existing law to include physical therapy in the definition of primary care provider.

This bill amends Idaho law to include physical therapists in the legal definition of "primary care provider" for direct primary care services. It directly affects physical therapists, allowing them to offer direct primary care under the same framework as doctors of family medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine, or dentistry. The key provision revises Section 39-9203 to explicitly list physical therapy as a qualifying field, enabling physical therapists to enter direct primary care agreements with patients. The change takes effect on July 1, 2026. This expands access to direct primary care options for patients seeking physical therapy services as part of a primary care relationship.
