HB 1675 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Concerning the corporate practice of medicine.

HB 1675 restricts corporate ownership and control of medical practices in Washington, requiring licensed health care providers to hold majority ownership and management roles in corporate medical practices. It prohibits non-licensed entities from owning medical practices, bans conflicts of interest with management services organizations, and prevents corporations from controlling clinical decisions like patient care timing, diagnoses, or staffing. The bill directly affects medical practices structured as corporations, their shareholders/directors, and management services organizations contracting with them. It excludes hospitals, nursing homes, and certain other facilities from these provisions, focusing on protecting physicians' clinical autonomy from corporate interference.
