An Act relative to primary care access

HD 3463 establishes a Primary Care Board to study and improve primary care access in Massachusetts. The board, composed of health care providers, insurers, community representatives, and advocacy groups, will develop recommendations for payment models (including an all-payer primary care capitation system), data reporting standards, and workforce strategies. It requires health care providers and payers to submit primary care spending data, which will be published on a public dashboard for transparency. The bill directly affects primary care providers, health insurance plans, and the state’s approach to funding primary care services.
