CHARLESTON, W. Va. (April 22, 2021) – On Monday, West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice signed a bill into law that expands policies to help facilitate healthcare freedom outside of government regulatory schemes.
Del. Steve Westfall (R-Ripley) introduced House Bill 2877 (HB2877) on March 3. In 2017, West Virginia enacted a law specifying that direct primary care agreements (sometimes called medical retainer agreements) do not constitute insurance, thereby freeing doctors and patients from the onerous requirements and regulations under the state insurance code.
That law also stipulates that neither direct primary care providers nor their agents are required to obtain a certification of authority or license under chapter thirty-three to market, sell, or offer to sell a direct primary care agreement.
