Minnesota HF1157 establishes rules for direct primary care service agreements, clarifying they are not insurance and outlining patient and provider.

Minnesota HF1157 creates a framework for direct primary care service agreements, ensuring these agreements are not considered insurance and exempt from certain regulations. The bill mandates that these agreements must be in writing, signed by both parties, and allow either to terminate with written notice. It prohibits direct practices from increasing fees more than annually and requires advance notice of fee changes. Patients can terminate the agreement for any reason, while providers can only terminate for non-payment, fraud, or abusive behavior.
