Introduced Text

Rhode Island Ban on the Corporate Practice of Medicine Act regulates corporate ownership of medical practices and requires reporting on healthcare.

The Rhode Island Ban on the Corporate Practice of Medicine Act prohibits entities without proper medical licensure from practicing medicine, except for specific entities like safety net clinics and public hospitals. It mandates that medical practices be owned and controlled by licensed physicians, with restrictions on non-physician ownership and control. The act also bans noncompetition and nondisclosure agreements between licensees and employers or other entities, voiding such agreements as unenforceable.
